The Problem

Placerville has junk options, just not easy ones

You search online, call the trash company, leave voicemails for a few haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague quote, another never does. Meanwhile, weeks slip by and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Bulk pickup through your trash hauler can help, but it usually has to be requested ahead of time and often has item limits. Some things may be excluded entirely, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, which is a lot on a steep foothill driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before giving a number, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That makes the final total hard to predict until the truck is already loaded, and by then you're unlikely to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation sites need items they can actually resell, so stained, broken, or worn pieces often get turned away. They won't take everything, and you'll still need to load, haul, and unload it yourself, with no guarantee it gets accepted when you arrive.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full remodel, not for clearing out one room. You coordinate delivery and pickup, may need to check placement rules, give up driveway space for days, and still do all the heavy lifting and loading on your own.

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

Waiting by the driveway or carried out from where it sits

If your items are already outside near the street or at the bottom of a long El Dorado County driveway, curbside is the simple choice. Pick full-service when things are still inside, upstairs in an older home or tucked in an outbuilding up a sloped lot, and your Loaders will carry them out.

Serving Placerville and all across El Dorado County

Highway 50 crawls when the Tahoe weekend crowd heads up the hill, and nobody wants to join it with a sofa in the truck bed. Add a steep foothill driveway and a dump run only gets harder. Your Loaders carry it out and load it up, and they like showing up for neighbors here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky furniture and old appliances are hard to move alone, so where they end up matters for Placerville homes. Your Loaders sort each item by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits what you have.

Local Disposal Rules

The Placerville disposal rules most residents don't know

A banned TV or an oversized couch left at the curb can sit there uncollected, so here is how disposal works in Placerville and El Dorado County.

Rule 01

Fence posts and deck boards count as treated wood waste

California regulates pressure-treated lumber from old fences, decks, and retaining walls as treated wood waste. It cannot be burned or chipped into mulch, and it has to go to a landfill that is approved to accept it.

Rule 02

Old TVs and monitors cannot go in any curbside cart

Computers, laptops, monitors, separated computer circuit boards, and televisions contain heavy metals. In Placerville they cannot be thrown away as garbage and must be recycled, either through a bulky pickup request or at the local Material Recovery Facility.

Rule 03

Mattresses have a statewide recycling program funded at purchase

California's mattress recycling law adds a fee to every new mattress and box spring sold. That fee pays for the Bye Bye Mattress program, whose participating collection sites take used mattresses from residents at no charge.

Rule 04

Bulk pickup items must stay within 100 pounds and 8 feet

Placerville's bulk pickup through El Dorado Disposal takes items like water heaters, washers, dryers, and furniture. Each piece can weigh no more than 100 pounds and be no longer than 8 feet. Confirm your pickup date before putting anything at the curb.

Rule 05

Refrigerators and freezers need refrigerant removed before scrapping

California requires refrigerants, mercury switches, and other materials that need special handling to be removed from major appliances before they are crushed or recycled. A fridge or freezer that still holds refrigerant cannot just be sent for scrap.

Rule 06

Tape rechargeable battery terminals before you drop them off

California's universal waste rules keep batteries out of household trash. In Placerville, you can drop off used batteries at the Material Recovery Facility. Tape the terminal ends of rechargeable batteries first to prevent short circuits and fires.

Not unless it is part of your regular collection service. Placerville's trash and recycling hauler is El Dorado Disposal, at (530) 626-4141. Anything left out that they won't collect can be treated as illegal dumping, so ask them what your account covers first.

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

Sometimes. Same-day and next-day slots are offered in Placerville when availability allows, and open times depend on your address and the schedule. Enter your details during booking to see what's open. For curbside pickups, you don't need to be home.

Paint, solvents, and similar household hazardous waste can't go in a normal junk load. El Dorado County residents can drop it off free at 4100 Throwita Way in Placerville, Friday to Sunday, 9 to 4. There is a 15 gallon combined limit per trip.

Loaders aim to keep items out of the landfill whenever possible. Usable pieces are routed to local charities depending on acceptance, recyclables go to proper processors, and what remains goes to licensed disposal sites. Outcomes vary by item condition.

You pick your items and a time online, then see your total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader heads to your address, and you point out what goes. They handle the lifting and hauling. Hills and narrow driveways are fine, just add access notes.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
