The Problem

Fresno has junk options, just not easy ones

You search online, call the city, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One quotes a vague range, another never calls back. Two weekends later, the junk is still sitting in your garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can handle some large items, but you request a date ahead of time, item limits apply, and some things don't qualify. You still drag everything to the curb yourself, then wait on a municipal schedule that may not match your move-out date.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That fraction gets judged on the spot, so the number you hear on the phone and the one on the final bill don't always match.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want items they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture often get turned away. Most won't send anyone to carry pieces out, which leaves you loading, driving across town, and hoping the dock accepts what you brought.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off sized for a full remodel ends up holding a few pieces of furniture and some boxes. You plan around delivery and pickup windows, may need a permit if it sits on the street, and it can block your driveway 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.

Vetted Loaders who show up and do the lifting

Your Loaders handle the long carry from a backyard garage on a deep lot or down exterior apartment stairs. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Fresno after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Curbside grab or carried out from where it sits

If you've already moved that old sectional or stack of boxes to the end of a wide suburban driveway, curbside keeps things simple. Pick full-service when items are still inside, like down a narrow hallway in an older bungalow or up apartment stairs, and your Loaders will carry everything out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Fresno, on both sides of Highway 99

Hauling a busted couch across town when the afternoon hits triple digits is nobody's idea of a good Saturday. Your Loaders show up, carry it out, and handle the loading, because Fresno folks deserve a weekend that doesn't end with a sunburn, a strapped-down sofa, and a slow crawl down Shaw Avenue.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items are hard to move alone, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Fresno, your Loader sorts each load by condition, aiming for donation or recycling when possible before disposal.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible and where local options allow. Your Loader checks what is still usable as the load goes onto the truck.

  • 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 ready for donation may be recycled where available, such as scrap metal or sturdy frames. Your Loader separates what can go that route when local options allow.

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like a water-ruined sofa or a broken-down mattress, are taken for responsible disposal at an appropriate facility serving the Fresno area.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Fresno disposal rules most residents don't know

If you put a pile on a Fresno curb without a scheduled pickup, the city cites it as illegal dumping. These rules apply to cleanouts in Fresno and across Fresno County.

Rule 01

Moving ten or more old tires requires a state registration

California limits who can move waste tires in bulk. Carrying more than nine at once generally requires a CalRecycle waste tire hauler registration. The rule targets illegal tire piles, which breed mosquitoes and can start fires that are very hard to put out.

Rule 02

Fresno's free curbside pickup covers one bulky item a year

City of Fresno residential customers in good standing get one free bulky item pickup per account each year through 311 or the FresGO app. Extra pickups that year are billed as a Special Haul, and items may go out no more than 36 hours early.

Rule 03

Old fence boards and deck lumber are regulated treated wood waste

Pressure-treated wood from fences, decks, and landscape timbers can contain preservatives such as arsenic and chromium. California classifies it as treated wood waste. It cannot go in green waste or regular trash and must go to a facility authorized to accept it.

Rule 04

Fresno apartment bins cannot take bulky items or construction debris

Many Fresno apartment complexes are served by Mid Valley Disposal, which asks residents to keep bulky items, construction debris, electronic waste, and automotive parts out of shared containers. Some complexes hold bulky item events limited to one item per unit.

Rule 05

Batteries are illegal in the trash anywhere in California

Since 2006, California has classified household batteries as universal waste, which cannot go in the trash. Crushed lithium-ion batteries can start fires inside collection trucks and at sorting facilities, and the Central Valley's triple-digit summer heat makes that danger worse.

Rule 06

Refrigerators carry a separate disposal fee in Fresno's fee schedule

The City of Fresno charges a per-unit Refrigerator Disposal Environmental Fee, listed in its Master Fee Schedule. California treats refrigerants and certain other parts of major appliances as materials that need special handling. They must be removed before the appliance can be crushed or recycled.

Not without a scheduled pickup. Fresno's one-time bulky item pickup is for City solid waste customers in good standing, limited to once per year, and requested by dialing 311. Piles put out without an appointment can be treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Fresno starts at $75 for the first item, which includes the pickup fee. Each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Outdoor or curbside pickup takes $5 off the base price.

Same-day slots are sometimes available depending on the schedule and your address. Enter your Fresno zip code when booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups, nobody needs to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Yes. The City's Solid Waste Division holds Free Dump Events six times a year, usually in spring and fall, at the CARTS facility at 3457 S. Cedar Ave. Limits apply: one full-size pickup truck load per household, for City solid waste customers only. You haul it yourself.

Loaders sort items and try to donate usable ones to local charities or recycle materials whenever options allow. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Donation and recycling depend on what facilities accept, so they aren't guaranteed.

Household hazardous waste like paint, solvents, and chemicals can't go in your bulky pile or gray cart. Fresno County runs a Household Hazardous Waste facility at the American Avenue Disposal Site. Call (559) 600-4259 to confirm what it accepts and its hours.

Book online, choose your items and a time window, and see your total before confirming. Your Loader typically calls or texts before arriving, then lifts and hauls everything away. Pickup from a curb, garage, or inside the home all work.

Pricing model. 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Junk King, and College Hunks generally price by how much truck space your load fills. LoadUp prices per item online, so your total is set before booking. For a few items that is often simpler, while big cleanouts may suit truckload pricing.
