The Problem

Fort Myers has junk options, just not easy ones

You search online, call the city or county to find out who even serves your street, request hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weeks slip by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Free bulk collection helps, but who handles it depends on whether you live inside city limits or in unincorporated Lee County. Pickups usually need a request in advance, some items are excluded, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the pile in person before they'll give you a number, then price by how much of the truck it fills. Your quote can shift once they show up, so you won't know the real cost until the work is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Local charities need items they can actually resell, so stained cushions, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Even when they accept something, you may still have to haul it there yourself, and the rejected pieces stay with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means booking a drop-off and pickup, finding room in the driveway, and maybe checking HOA rules or permits. Then you still do all the lifting yourself. For a spare room or a garage corner, it's more container than you need.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

  • Per-item, predictable. First item includes the pickup fee. Every add-on is flat, no truck math, no hourly rates.
  • Locked means locked. The price at booking is what you pay. No adjustments, no surprises.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Serving Fort Myers and the rest of Lee County

Anyone who has wrestled a sofa out of a lanai in July knows the drill: the heat index climbs, and an afternoon thunderstorm is always lurking. Your Loaders do the lifting and hauling so you can stay in the air conditioning, because showing up for neighbors here is the best part of the job.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Fort Myers homes tend to collect bulky pieces, from sofas to patio sets, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal happens when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation where available. Your Loader carries them out, and acceptance depends on each organization's current needs.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled when possible, such as metal frames or appliance parts. Options vary across Lee County, so outcomes are never guaranteed.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like a soaked mattress or broken sofa, are loaded by your Loader and taken for responsible disposal at an appropriate facility serving the Fort Myers area.

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Fort Myers disposal rules most residents don't know

A mixed or oversized curbside pile can sit for another full week before the next collection, so here is how disposal works in Fort Myers and Lee County.

Rule 01

Yard trimmings pickup allows up to 10 cubic yards weekly

Southwest Florida's long growing season keeps hedges and trees busy, and the city's weekly horticulture pickup accepts up to 10 cubic yards of trimmings. Residents who generate steady clippings can request a 96-gallon horticulture cart for $2.75 per month.

Rule 02

Paints and household chemicals go to the Topaz Court annex

Household chemicals, paints, and liquids are handled at Lee County's Topaz Court Solid Waste Annex in Fort Myers. Neighboring Cape Coral points its residents there too, since its own bulk waste drop-off site does not accept these materials.

Rule 03

Stoves, refrigerators and washers get their own weekly removal

Fort Myers treats white goods as a separate category from furniture and mattresses. The city provides weekly removal of appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, and washers and dryers, listed separately from the 4 cubic yard bulk item allowance.

Rule 04

Bulk furniture pickup caps at four cubic yards weekly

City of Fort Myers residential service includes one bulk pickup each week for large household items such as furniture and mattresses, limited to 4 cubic yards. A whole-house cleanout that exceeds that volume has to be spread across multiple weeks or handled another way.

Rule 05

Electronics are their own city collection stream

The Fort Myers Solid Waste Division lists electronics as a distinct collection, separate from garbage, recycling, bulk, and yard waste. Like those services, electronics are not collected on holidays, and some holiday weeks shift residential routes back by one day.

Rule 06

Keep junk and brush in separate curbside piles

The Solid Waste Division requires junk and brush to be kept separate. Yard waste and bulk items are collected as separate services that may or may not run on the same day as your garbage and recycling.

Not unless it is part of your scheduled collection. Piles set out outside your hauler's rules can be treated as illegal dumping. Bulk pickup rules vary by address, so confirm with the City of Fort Myers or Lee County Solid Waste first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Fort Myers starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability and your address, so enter your zip code during booking to see live openings. Next-day and later times are usually easier to get, especially in busy winter months.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave items out and add access notes at booking. For items inside your home, someone should be there, or you can give entry instructions ahead of time. Your Loader will give you notice before arriving.

Hazardous items such as paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, and propane tanks are generally not accepted by haulers. Storm debris often follows separate county or city collection rules. Check with Lee County Solid Waste before you stage a pile.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Donation and recycling outcomes can't be guaranteed for every item.

Pick your items and your address online, choose a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day, your Loader arrives, removes the items, and handles the loading and hauling. You don't need to move anything to a truck yourself.

The main differences are the pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total shown before booking. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler can be the better fit.
