The Problem

In Piedmont, the easy junk options aren't that easy

You search online, look up the city's pickup rules, and ask a few haulers for quotes. One never calls back. Another wants to come look first. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Piedmont households get a limited number of free bulky cleanups each program year, with a cap on volume, and you have to call the city's hauler to schedule one. You still have to haul everything to the curb yourself, so a big cleanout can quickly outgrow it.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to walk through your house before they'll quote, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. That amount gets eyeballed on the spot, so the number you heard on the phone can change once the crew sees your basement.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need to resell what they take, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and scratched furniture often get turned away. You still have to load and drive everything there yourself, and whatever they turn down rides back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full remodel, not for clearing out a single room. You may need city approval to place one, the delivery and pickup windows rarely line up, and a bin sitting on a residential street for a week tends to get noticed.

What sets us apart

Your price is locked before pickup day

Vetted Loaders who handle your home with care

Narrow basement stairs and a sloped front walk can turn one dresser into a slow, careful carry, and your Loaders handle it. They're background-checked and rated by real locals in Piedmont after every job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the driveway or carried out from inside

If the old patio set or boxed-up garage clutter is already staged at the street or on your driveway, curbside keeps things simple. For pieces still up in an attic or tucked away on another level of the house, choose full-service so your Loaders carry everything out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving all of Piedmont, from Moraga Avenue to Grand Avenue

Piedmont's streets wind uphill, double back, and rarely offer a straight shot to anywhere, which makes a trip to the dump with an old dresser strapped to the car feel like a bad plan. Your Loader does the lifting and the driving, and genuinely enjoys showing up for neighbors in a city this tight-knit.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Piedmont homes tend to hold years of bulky furniture and household goods, so where items end up matters. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, favoring donation or recycling over landfill when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be set aside for donation where available. Your Loader handles the careful carry-out and loading, and acceptance depends on local organizations.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items too worn to donate, such as scuffed wood pieces, metal frames, or cardboard-heavy cleanout debris, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader separates materials so reusable pieces stay out of the trash.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like broken sofas or waterlogged furniture, are taken for responsible disposal at an appropriate facility, after your Loader has pulled out anything that can be reused.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Piedmont disposal rules most residents don't know

A mixed curbside pile in Piedmont gets landfilled instead of recycled, and pickup allowances are capped each year. These rules apply to homes in Piedmont, Alameda County.

Rule 01

Packing foam and moving boxes ride free in recycling

Piedmont's recycling list includes cardboard, Styrofoam blocks, and packing peanuts, and recycling is free and unlimited. For a one-time overflow after a move, bag the extra, set it beside the blue cart, and notify Republic Services before collection day.

Rule 02

Remodel debris boxes come through the city's exclusive franchise

Piedmont's franchise agreement gives Republic Services exclusive rights to collect solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste in the city through 2028. Debris boxes for remodeling, landscaping, and site cleanups are rented through that franchise, with rates based on box size and filled weight.

Rule 03

Fall leaves need paper or compostable bags, tied and bundled

When autumn leaves pile up, Piedmont lets bulky yard waste go out with regular curbside collection if it sits in compostable or paper bags, bundled and tied, next to your carts. Brown paper leaf bags are available at City Hall or by mail.

Rule 04

Two free bulky pickups a year, but only if sorted

Single-family homes get two free large item pickups each July-to-June year, capped at 6 cubic yards each. Schedule at least 5 business days ahead and separate recycling, yard waste, and landfill items, because mixed piles all go to the landfill.

Rule 05

Household batteries ride on top of the recycling cart

Bag single-use and rechargeable household batteries in a sealed plastic bag and set it on top of the blue recycling cart. The Piedmont Fire Station also collects household batteries and CFLs from residents, and hazardous waste is barred from the black garbage cart.

Rule 06

Old TVs in wood cabinets are excluded from e-waste pickup

Piedmont's on-call e-waste pickup takes TVs without wood cabinets, computer monitors, computer/monitor all-in-ones, laptops and accessories, VCRs, and cellular or cordless telephones. Electronic waste can also go out as part of a scheduled large item pickup.

Not without a scheduled pickup. Republic Services handles Piedmont's curbside service, and residents get 2 bulky item pickups per year by calling 1-800-320-8077. Items set out without an appointment can be treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Piedmont starts at $75, and curbside or driveway 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 slots are sometimes open, depending on Loader availability in your area. Enter your address during booking to see live times. For curbside pickups you usually don't need to be home, and for indoor pickups someone should be there or leave access notes.

The city's bulky program through Republic Services covers 2 pickups per year, so a third cleanout needs another route. You can book a paid junk removal service, or ask Republic Services about debris box rental, which has its own fees. Hazardous items such as paint and batteries need special handling and don't belong in regular bulky pickups.

Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill. Whenever possible they take them to local donation partners or recyclers. Donation and recycling depend on what each facility accepts, so some items, like worn-out or damaged pieces, may still go to disposal.

Pick your items online, choose a time window, and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day, your Loader arrives in the window, removes the items, and loads them. Large items like furniture from upstairs rooms or hillside homes are handled by the Loader.

For a few items, usually yes. A debris box suits big remodels or full-house cleanouts, but you load it yourself and pay the rental rate set by the hauler. LoadUp prices per item upfront, and the Loader does the lifting.
