The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Burbank shouldn't take weeks

You look up the city's rules, call about a pickup, ask a few haulers for quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. A month later, the same pile is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Burbank runs its own bulky item collection, which helps when your timing fits. You still have to request it ahead of time, follow its limits on what and how much goes out, and drag everything to the pickup spot yourself, sometimes down a steep hillside driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't give you a real number until someone comes out for an in-person estimate. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your load fills, so the quote you hear first may not be what you pay once everything is loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities want items they can resell, so stained couches, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Even when something qualifies, you still have to load it, drive it over, and find a way to deal with whatever they won't take.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full remodel, not for one cleared-out bedroom. On Burbank's tight residential streets, you may need a permit to put it on the street, you have to plan around delivery and pickup dates, and it can block a neighbor's parking for days.

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.

Pickup Options

Set it outside or have it carried out

If your old dresser is already outdoors at the end of a long driveway or beside a back garage, choose curbside. If it's a couch in a second-floor apartment with outdoor stairs or a fridge in a back bedroom, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Burbank, from the Verdugo foothills down to the Valley floor

Loading a busted sofa into a hot car in a Valley summer, then inching down the 134 on a Saturday, is nobody's favorite errand. Your Loaders would rather handle the lifting and loading while you stay put, and they genuinely like showing up for Burbank neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Burbank homes produce a steady mix of worn sofas, remodel leftovers, and yard clippings, so where each item ends up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition, aiming to keep usable pieces out of landfills when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside during loading so they can head to a donation channel.

  • 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 donatable, like broken appliances, electronics, or scrap metal, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates these from general debris as the truck is loaded.

  • 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, such as soaked mattresses or broken-down furniture, go to a licensed disposal site serving the Burbank area. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading from start to finish.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Burbank disposal rules most residents don't know

Overloaded carts get tagged and left full, and tossing hazardous waste in the trash is illegal, so here is how disposal actually works in Burbank and Los Angeles County.

Rule 01

E-bikes are accepted only with the battery still installed

The Burbank Recycle Center's Drop Zone takes e-bikes and hoverboards from Burbank residents, but loose e-bike batteries are refused. The city warns that batteries spark and should never go in curbside carts, and proof of Burbank residency may be requested.

Rule 02

Soil, sand, and dirt can leave a cart unemptied

Burbank carts hold no more than 200 pounds, and the city specifically warns against filling them with sand, soil, or other heavy materials. Overloaded carts are tagged and not emptied until the material is removed, and dirt is prohibited in the green cart.

Rule 03

Hillside brush clearance must be finished by the end of June

Properties in Burbank's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone must complete brush clearance by the end of June, and Burbank Fire Department inspections begin in July. Cut vegetation must be removed or safely disposed of, and violation notices allow about 30 days to correct.

Rule 04

Bulky Item Pick Up sends most furniture to the landfill

Items collected through Burbank's curbside Bulky Item Pick Up are landfilled, except electronics, metal appliances, mattresses and box springs. Requests go through Our Burbank 311 with a photo at least two business days before trash day, and the city urges donating or selling first.

Rule 05

Treated wood is hazardous but skips hazardous waste centers

Burbank classifies railroad ties and other treated wood as household hazardous waste because of preservatives like creosote, yet it can only go to an approved landfill permitted to accept it. Untreated, unpainted, metal-free wood can go loose in the green cart, cut to fit.

Rule 06

Paint and chemicals go to county sites, not the Drop Zone

The Burbank Recycle Center's Drop Zone takes universal waste, not paint, flammables, or chemicals, and no longer accepts motor oil. Los Angeles County S.A.F.E. Centers take residential hazardous waste, and county drive-thru events in Burbank cap each trip at 15 gallons or 125 pounds.

Only through the city's Bulky Item Pick Up. Call (818) 238-3800 at least one business day before your trash day, and set items out the night before, 5 feet from fixed objects. Anything left out without a scheduled pickup risks being treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Burbank starts at $75 for a single item, and curbside 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.

Same-day pickup is often available in Burbank, depending on the schedule that day. Enter your address during booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions.

Sometimes, but not always. If the crew can't remove an item because of its weight or size, it gets tagged and collected the following Friday. As of July 1, 2025, a $12.14 per item Special Handling Fee applies to those items. Business junk isn't covered.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so nothing is guaranteed.

Paint, cleaners, solvents, pesticides and similar chemicals can't go in the trash or a junk load. Burbank residents can take certain items to the Burbank Recycle Center, and LA County S.A.F.E. centers also accept them. Pouring them down drains is illegal.

Enter your items and Burbank address online, see the price, and pick a time slot. Your Loader gives notice before arriving, then removes the items and loads them. You can also text a photo of your items for a quote. The total is confirmed before pickup.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truckload, often with an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For big cleanouts, a truckload hauler can make sense.
