Junk piles up fast and getting rid of it shouldn't be another chore. Book LoadUp, see your price upfront, and get a quick pickup on the Rock.
You call the city, ask around at work, and message a few people with trucks. Some never answer, others are booked out or gone for the season. Weeks later the junk is still taking up room.
City solid waste services can help, but the rules, hours, and accepted items can change, and getting heavy pieces to the landfill or out to the curb is usually your job. Appliances and bulky loads may need extra steps or special handling.
When you can find someone with a truck, the price often depends on an in-person look or a vague truckload estimate. You may not know the final number until everything is loaded, which makes planning for even a simple cleanout feel like a gamble.
Thrift and donation options on the island are small and often run by volunteers, so they can only take clean, working items they have room for. Worn furniture, stained mattresses, and broken goods still need somewhere to go when local options allow.
Getting a large roll-off container to a home on Amaknak or near Iliuliuk means coordinating delivery, finding a flat spot to park it, and keeping it from blocking a tight street. For one room or a garage corner, that is more container than the job needs.

Your Loaders work a couch through a narrow arctic entry and down steep exterior stairs, and each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Unalaska after each job.
Curbside makes sense when your items already sit on a gravel driveway or roadside pad, ideally covered against wet, windy weather. If things are still inside a multi-unit building, a storage space, or a bunkhouse-style rental, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry them out for you.

Anyone who has wrestled a mattress in a williwaw knows island weather does not care about your Saturday plans. Your Loader handles the lifting, carrying, and loading when conditions and access allow, so you are not fighting the wind alone. LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely like showing up for the people who keep this island running.
Island logistics make it matter where a couch, mattress, or pile of debris ends up after pickup. In Unalaska, your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.
Items in good, clean condition, like sturdy furniture or working household goods, may be set aside by your Loader for donation where available. Outlets on the island are limited, so this is never guaranteed.
Items that are worn but not ready for donation may be separated by your Loader for recycling when possible. Options on a remote island can depend on shipping, so outcomes vary by item.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or broken furniture, are loaded by your Loader and taken to a disposal site that follows Unalaska's current local solid waste rules.
One unsorted load at the city landfill can trigger a per-container sorting charge beyond the tipping fee. The rules below apply in Unalaska and the Aleutians West Census Area.
Junk vehicles are not landfilled in Unalaska. The city stockpiles them at the landfill and contracts for lawful disposal off-island. A 2025 council resolution approved shipping about 250 derelict vehicles to Seattle after years without regular shipments.
Unalaska's fee schedule lists creosote and creosote-treated items as prohibited materials. Any load that arrives with them is subject to the per-container sorting charge. Pallets and large wood items are a separate category and must be pulled out of mixed loads.
Unalaska bales its trash before hauling it to the landfill cell, then covers it with six inches of daily cover. This keeps it from blowing away in hurricane-force storms. The landfill is open Tuesday through Saturday and closed most major holidays.
Alaska DEC guidance for rural landfills says a technician with certified equipment must remove the Freon before an appliance is landfilled, because released CFCs damage the ozone layer. DEC also suggests owners clean out spoiled food and take off the doors first.
Unalaska's fee schedule lists nets and line as materials requiring separation, and the Solid Waste Division hauls them to their own area. A container that arrives mixed with them is charged $817.50 for sorting, on top of the tipping fee.
The city lists petroleum products and corrosive materials as prohibited items at the landfill. Other waste that needs special handling must be reported to the Solid Waste Division before disposal and is accepted only at the city's discretion, for an agreed charge.

(678) 884-4738Don't assume you can. Unalaska is a small island community, and bulky items left outside without arrangements can be treated as illegal dumping. Check with the City of Unalaska's solid waste office about bulk rules, since curbside pickup for large items isn't something to count on.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Unalaska starts at $105 for a single item, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.
Availability depends on scheduling and crew coverage in your area. Entering your address during booking shows which dates are open for Dutch Harbor, Iliuliuk, or elsewhere on Unalaska and Amaknak islands. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home.
Not for curbside or outdoor pickups. Leave the items in an accessible spot and add access notes when booking. For items inside a home or garage, someone should be there or you can leave entry instructions. You get an arrival heads-up before the Loader shows up.
The islands are remote, so disposal options are limited and shipping waste off-island is costly. Large, hazardous, or restricted items like paint, batteries, or fuel often have special handling rules. Ask the City of Unalaska about what its landfill accepts before you haul anything yourself.
Loaders try to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local options accept them. Anything that can't be reused or recycled goes to an approved disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what is available locally, so nothing is guaranteed.
You pick your items online, enter your Unalaska address, choose a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day, the Loader arrives, confirms the items, removes them, and cleans up the spot. The price you were quoted is the price you pay.
The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload and may need an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. Truckload pricing can suit big cleanouts, and availability in Unalaska varies by provider.
