The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Pittsburg shouldn't take all month

You search online, call the garbage company, and leave messages with a few haulers. One quotes you, two never call back, and the bulk pickup date is weeks away. Meanwhile the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs work well if you can wait. You usually have to request a slot ahead of time, stay under item limits, and get everything to the curb yourself. Some things get turned away entirely, and lugging a dresser down the driveway is still your job.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the pile before they give you a number. That can mean taking time off for a visit, then getting a vague truckload estimate that shifts once loading starts. You end up agreeing to the job without really knowing the final total.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be choosy. Stained mattresses, worn sofas, and broken appliances usually get turned down, and some drop-off spots stop taking furniture when they run out of room. Donating works for part of the pile, but rarely for all of it.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full remodel, not for a spare bedroom. You book drop-off and pickup dates, may need a permit if it sits on the street, and keep it in your driveway for days while the neighbors look at it. Then you do all the loading yourself.

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

Left at the curb or carried out from inside

If the old dryer or patio set is already out on your driveway, curbside (outdoor) pickup keeps things simple and your Loaders load it from there. For a back bedroom in an older single-story home or an upstairs apartment unit, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Pittsburg, from the Delta waterfront to the hills above town

A busted dresser is a chore anywhere, but Highway 4 at rush hour turns a dump run into a second job, and BART was never meant to carry a box spring. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading at your place, and they like showing up for Pittsburg neighbors who already spend enough of their week commuting.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and in Pittsburg, CA, where you send them afterward matters as much as getting them out. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.

Local Disposal Rules

The Pittsburg disposal rules most residents don't know

Pittsburg can hold the owner of a vehicle used in illegal dumping responsible, so these Pittsburg and Contra Costa County rules are worth knowing first.

Rule 01

Televisions and monitors are illegal to toss in the trash

Heavy metals and other toxic substances in electronics make it illegal to put e-waste in the trash. The Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility accepts televisions, computer monitors, laptops, printers, and cell phones from East County residents at no charge.

Rule 02

Pruned branches must be bundled to a strict size

Pittsburg's two yearly on-call pickups take up to twelve 32-gallon bags of garbage or yard waste, each 50 pounds or less. Branches must be tied in bundles no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet, and logs and lumber are excluded entirely.

Rule 03

Cooking grease goes to hazardous waste, not the drain

Delta Diablo, which treats East County's wastewater, accepts cooking oil and grease at its household hazardous waste facility. Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery asks residents never to pour fats, oils, and grease down the drain or into carts, since grease hardens and clogs sewer lines.

Rule 04

Your one yearly bulky pickup has a 200-pound cap

Pittsburg households get one bulky item pickup per calendar year through Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery. It covers a single appliance, piece of large furniture, or electronic item under 200 pounds, so a full room of furniture needs another plan.

Rule 05

Half-used paint cans may find a second life locally

The Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility takes latex and oil-based paints, stains, pool chemicals, and household cleaners free from East County residents Thursday through Saturday. Its Reuse Room lets residents take home usable products such as paints and cleansers at no cost.

Rule 06

Old batteries and CFL bulbs can ride beside your cart

Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery collects household batteries and compact fluorescent lightbulbs curbside in Pittsburg, but only when scheduled in advance. Set them out in a clear plastic bag next to your garbage cart, never inside it, because California bans both from household trash.

Not unless it's part of a scheduled pickup. Pittsburg treats illegal dumping as a crime, and the city raised fines for it to as much as $1,000 in 2024. Residents can report dumping at (925) 646-2441.

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

Often, depending on the day's schedule. Enter your Pittsburg address when booking to see live same-day and next-day openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Republic Services provides trash and recycling service in Pittsburg and offers bulk trash pickup. Check your account for how many bulk pickups your plan includes and any fees. The city's pickup can be the cheaper choice if you can wait for the appointment.

Paint, chemicals, batteries and similar items shouldn't go in regular trash or bulk piles. Contra Costa County runs household hazardous waste collection for residents. Loaders can haul most standard junk, but hazardous materials generally need a dedicated drop-off.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can when options allow. Acceptance depends on the condition of each item and on what local charities and recyclers will take. Whatever can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

You choose your items and address online, pick a time window, and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day, Loaders arrive, remove the items from where you've pointed them out, and load them into the truck, so you don't have to carry anything.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truckload volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking, which can suit small jobs. Full-house cleanouts may suit a truckload hauler better.
