The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Highland shouldn't take this long

You look up the rules, call to ask about a pickup, and request a few hauler quotes. One calls back and the rest never do. Weeks go by and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs work fine for a couple of items, but you usually have to request a date ahead of time, and there are limits on what qualifies. Remodel debris, loose piles, and anything they reject can be left sitting at the curb.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

A lot of haulers want to look at the job in person before they give you a number, and then they quote by fractions of a truckload. You often don't learn what you'll really pay until the crew is standing in your driveway.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers look closely at condition, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Even when they do take something, you still have to load it, drive it there, and figure out what to do with the rest.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster means booking drop-off and pickup dates, possibly getting a permit or HOA approval, and giving up your driveway for days. For one room of stuff, you end up doing all the lifting yourself with a big steel box in front of the house.

Vetted Loaders who show up ready to work

Hauling a treadmill down a sloped driveway or easing a dresser through a narrow side-yard gate takes care. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Highland after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the curb or carried out from inside

If the old sofa or bagged brush is already sitting on your driveway, outdoor curbside service keeps things simple. If it is still tucked in a back bedroom, a packed garage, or a hillside backyard, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Highland from the valley floor to the foothills

Let's be honest, a Saturday dump run is rough when weekend traffic is crawling up State Route 330 toward the mountains, and your old sofa isn't invited. Skip the traffic. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for the Highland neighbors who make this town feel like home.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely fit in a trash bin, so where they end up matters as much as getting them out of your Highland garage. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, aiming to keep usable things out of landfills.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and household goods that are clean and in working shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader will separate them from the rest of the load.

  • 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 broken but still hold usable materials, like metal frames or old exercise equipment, may be recycled where available. Outcomes depend on the item and on local programs.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Highland disposal rules most residents don't know

Letting cleanout debris pile up for more than seven days breaks California health rules. Here is how disposal works in Highland and across San Bernardino County.

Rule 01

Used sharps go to the county hazardous waste program

Highland's residential program sends household hazardous waste to the San Bernardino County Fire Department's Household Hazardous Waste Division at San Bernardino International Airport. That facility also takes sharps, so used needles have a safe place to go instead of the trash.

Rule 02

Four free bulky pickups per calendar year, five items each

Highland residential customers can request four free curbside bulky item collections each calendar year, with up to five items per pickup. City code treats furniture, mattresses, carpets, tires and major household appliances as bulky items. Burrtec collects them on your regular collection day.

Rule 03

Food scraps belong in the green barrel, bagged

California's SB 1383 took effect on January 1, 2022. Since then, Highland residents must keep organic waste separate from landfill trash. Burrtec's green barrel takes green waste plus bagged food waste, and the city asks residents not to put trash in it.

Rule 04

Hauled cleanout debris must go to an authorized site

Highland's municipal code says anyone who collects and disposes of solid waste may leave it only at authorized disposal, recycling or composting sites. Burrtec offers a rent-a-bin option for residential cleanups, and you can report illegal dumping through the city's Report an Issue tool.

Rule 05

Refuse cannot sit on your property past seven days

Under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 17331, refuse may not build up on a Highland property for more than seven days. Severe weather, holidays and emergencies are limited exceptions. The rule exists to prevent neighborhood nuisances and protect public health.

Rule 06

Certain electronics can ride along with a bulky pickup

Highland's residential program lets you include certain electronic devices in the free bulky item pickups at no extra charge. For electronics that don't qualify, the San Bernardino County Fire Department's Household Hazardous Waste Division also accepts e-waste.

Not unless it is part of a scheduled pickup through your trash hauler. Items left out without an appointment can count as illegal dumping and draw a fine. Check with the City of Highland or your hauler for current bulky item rules.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Highland starts at $75, with $5 off when items are at the curb or driveway. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking.

Often, depending on Loader availability for your address. Enter your Highland zip code during booking to see open times, including same-day or next-day slots. Curbside items usually don't require anyone to be home, but indoor pickups need access.

Hazardous materials like paint, solvents, batteries, and chemicals generally can't go in regular trash or a junk load. San Bernardino County runs household hazardous waste drop-off programs for these. Confirm current sites and hours with the county before heading out.

Loaders try to donate usable items to local charities and recycle materials whenever possible, depending on acceptance. Anything that can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition.

Pick your items and your Highland address online, choose a time window, and see your price before confirming. Your Loader typically calls or texts before arriving, then removes the items and handles the loading and hauling for you.

Pricing model and booking flow. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and often confirm the total on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For big full-garage cleanouts, a truckload hauler may fit better.
