Why LoadUp

The smarter way to get rid of a generator

Renting a truck and recruiting friends is not a plan. Your Loaders show up, handle the weight, and haul it away so you can get your space back.

  • Price locked before you commit

    See your total before you book. No surprise charges after the fact, no fees added when your Loaders arrive.

  • Same-day availability

    Skip the municipal bulk pickup wait. Book before noon and same-day removal may be available in your area.

  • In-home, not just curbside

    Your Loaders carry the generator out from your garage, shed, or basement. You do not have to move it to the curb first.

  • Donation & recycling first

    Metal and components are recycled when local options allow, keeping as much of the unit out of the landfill as possible.

What to Expect

Full-service removal breakdown

Generator disposal service details

Generator removal pricing is based on the size and type of unit, how many pieces are being hauled away, and where the generator is located on your property. A compact portable unit priced differently than a large standby generator, and access factors like a tight basement stairwell or a long carry from a backyard shed may affect your total.

Drain all gasoline and oil from the unit before your Loaders arrive. If you have a hardwired standby or whole-home generator, it must be professionally disconnected by a licensed electrician before pickup day.

Generator types accepted for removal

LoadUp picks up a wide range of generator types, from compact portables to large standby units.

  • Portable generator
  • Inverter generator
  • Standby generator
  • Whole-home backup generator
  • Dual-fuel generator
  • Propane generator
  • Diesel generator
  • Gas-powered generator

Options & add-ons (clearly priced)

Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like stairs, a long carry from a shed or basement, or additional items are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free when your Loaders arrive.

Volume discounts

The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.

Flights of stairs

Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.

Item disassembly

For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.

Donation drop-off

Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.

Sustainability efforts

Your Loaders prioritize recycling metal and salvageable components from generators whenever local options are available, keeping as much of the unit out of the landfill as possible. Disposal outcomes vary based on the condition of the unit and what recycling or scrap facilities are accessible in your area.

Generator pickup typically starts around $130, though your final price depends on the size and type of unit, how many items are being hauled away, and whether you book curbside or in-home pickup. A large standby generator will be priced differently than a compact portable unit, and access factors like a basement stairwell or a long carry from a backyard shed may affect your total. Your price is shown upfront before you confirm, so there are no surprises when your Loaders arrive.

Yes. Your Loaders do not drain fuel or oil, so the unit needs to be prepared before they arrive. Drain all gasoline and oil from the generator ahead of your scheduled pickup. If you have a propane-powered unit, disconnect the fuel line as well. This is a safety requirement and ensures the pickup goes smoothly.

Your Loaders can haul away a standby generator, but it must already be professionally disconnected from your home's electrical system by a licensed electrician before pickup day. Your Loaders do not perform any electrical work, including disconnecting wiring, removing a transfer switch, or handling any connections to your home's panel. Once the unit is safely disconnected and the fuel is drained, your Loaders can carry it out and haul it away.

Yes. If you book in-home pickup, your Loaders will carry the generator out from wherever it is stored on your property, including a garage, shed, or basement. Generators are heavy and awkward to maneuver through tight spaces, and your Loaders are there to handle that work. If the unit is already outside and accessible, curbside pickup is also an option at booking.

Your Loaders prioritize recycling metal and salvageable components when local options are available, keeping as much of the unit out of the landfill as possible. Disposal outcomes depend on the condition of the generator and what recycling or scrap facilities are accessible in your area. Generators are not donated, so no donation receipt is provided.

It depends on the pickup type you book. If you choose curbside pickup, your Loaders can collect the generator without you present as long as it is in an accessible outdoor location. If you book in-home pickup, someone must be home to provide access so your Loaders can carry the unit out from your garage, shed, or basement. The pickup type you select at booking determines what is required on pickup day.
