The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Garner shouldn't take all month

You check the city's website, call the county about landfill hours, and leave messages with a couple of haulers. One calls back with a vague estimate. Another never does. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can handle some large items, but they usually come with item restrictions, advance requests, and set collection days. Appliances with refrigerant or electronics may need separate handling, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before giving you a number, then price by the fraction of a truckload. You won't know the real cost until the truck is filling up in your driveway, and by then saying no feels awkward.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, or furniture with broken pieces often get turned away. The nearest drop-off may also be a drive down U.S. 18, and you'll still be loading and unloading everything yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full gut renovation, not clearing out a spare bedroom. You have to coordinate delivery and pickup, find a spot for it on your driveway or lawn, and do all the heavy lifting and loading yourself.

Vetted Loaders who show up ready to work

Your Loaders carry heavy pieces up narrow basement stairs in older two-story homes and out of crowded detached garages. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Garner after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

Choose curbside, also called outdoor, when items like an old washer or a stack of fence boards are already in your driveway or by the street, which is easy on the many Garner lots with a driveway and detached garage. Choose full-service when you want your Loaders to carry things out from a basement, an upstairs bedroom, or a back porch.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Garner, on both sides of U.S. 18

Borrowing a neighbor's truck, ratcheting down a recliner, and losing a Saturday to the highway is a very Garner way to get rid of furniture. Your Loader does the lifting from house or garage, loads it up, and hauls it away, because the folks here have earned a free weekend.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Garner, your Loader sorts each load by condition, so usable pieces have a chance at a second life.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

When furniture or household goods are clean and in good shape, your Loader can set them aside for donation, where local options allow. Availability near Garner is limited, so this path depends on what's open.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn but not donatable, like scrap metal or broken appliances, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader separates what can be recycled from the rest, though recycling options near Garner vary.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or soiled items, like a ruined mattress or waterlogged sofa, go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and the load goes to a landfill or transfer station that accepts it.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Garner disposal rules most residents don't know

A Saturday landfill run without an appointment or yard waste bagged in plastic can mean a wasted trip. These rules apply in Garner and Hancock County.

Rule 01

Old appliances must be demanufactured before landfill disposal in Iowa

Iowa law bars landfilling refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, washers and other appliances until they have been demanufactured, meaning refrigerants, mercury switches and PCB capacitors are removed first. Those components can leak harmful chemicals into soil and groundwater if buried intact.

Rule 02

Curbside branch pickup runs only April through October

Garner collects curbside branches on the last Friday of each month, April through October, laid parallel to the curb for bucket pickup. Limbs downed outside that window, such as by an ice storm, can be taken to the city dump south of town.

Rule 03

Tube TVs and CRT monitors are accepted for electronics recycling

The Landfill of North Iowa lists CRT monitors, LCD monitors, CRT televisions, desktop and laptop computers, printers, scanners, VCR players and video game consoles among its accepted electronics. Older tube sets contain leaded glass, a good reason to keep them out of household trash.

Rule 04

Mattresses are accepted at the landfill but billed as garbage

The Landfill of North Iowa, which has served Hancock County under a 28E agreement since July 2022, accepts mattresses at its regular garbage rate. Non-account customers need an appointment for any Saturday entry, and weekday last loads come in at 4:15 p.m.

Rule 05

Leave the plastic bags home at the yard waste dump

Garner's yard waste dump takes grass clippings, flower bed and garden debris from Garner citizens, loose or in paper bags only. Only material that will compost belongs there, which matters because Iowa law keeps yard waste out of landfills.

Rule 06

Shingles and drywall from remodels have a landfill destination

Construction leftovers including asphalt shingles, gypsum drywall, carpet and carpet padding, ceramic tile, concrete, brick and fiberglass insulation are listed as accepted materials at the Landfill of North Iowa. Natural disaster debris is also on the accepted list, useful after hail or windstorms.

Not as a general rule. Garner's code covers regular solid waste collection under Chapter 106, and bulky junk isn't something to set out without confirming with City Hall first. Items left out unscheduled can be treated as litter or dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Garner starts at $85, and curbside pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Availability depends on the schedule and your address. Same-day or next-day slots open up in some areas, so enter your Garner zip code when booking to see live times. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home.

Hancock County designates the Landfill of North Iowa, at 15942 Killdeer Avenue near Clear Lake, as its disposal site. Self-hauling can be cheaper for a small load if you have a truck. Fees vary, so call the landfill first.

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 licensed disposal sites. Outcomes vary by item condition and what facilities will take.

Choose your items online, enter your Garner address, and pick a time window. You see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader usually gives notice before arriving, then removes the items and handles the hauling.
