The Problem

Lots of options in Planada, none that quite fit

You call the county, then your waste hauler, then a few junk haulers for quotes. Some call back with vague numbers, some never do. Weeks later, the pile in the carport hasn't moved.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

If your waste hauler offers bulky item collection, it can handle the occasional old chair. But you usually have to request it ahead, stay within item limits, and drag everything out to the road yourself. Refrigerant appliances, tires, and remodel debris often need separate handling.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price by how much of the truck they think you'll fill. That guess can shift once the loading starts, and on a long rural driveway, travel time may quietly add to it.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores need items they can resell, so a stained recliner, a washer that stopped spinning, or a dresser missing drawers usually gets turned away. And even good pieces still need loading, a truck, and a drive to wherever drop-offs are accepted.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off makes sense for a full teardown, not a garage cleanout. You book delivery and pickup days, find level ground that won't block the street or the neighbors, and still do all the lifting and tossing yourself. Depending on placement, a permit may apply too.

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.

Loaders you can count on from start to finish

Your Loaders carry a heavy dryer out of a detached garage at the far end of a long gravel drive. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Planada after every job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it out front or leave it right where it sits

If the scrap lumber or broken patio set is already out by the driveway or along the road, curbside is the simple choice. If it's still in a back bedroom, a storage shed, or the far corner of a bigger lot, full-service means your Loaders go in and carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Planada, from Highway 140 out to the farm roads

Free Saturdays are rare when work starts early and the pickup bed is already spoken for. Hauling a worn-out dryer or a pile of remodel scraps yourself can swallow the whole day. Your Loader does the lifting, carrying, and loading, and we like showing up for Planada neighbors who have plenty on their plates already.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast on a rural Planada lot, and where they end up matters as much as getting them gone. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Usable furniture and household goods in clean, good shape may go to donation partners when possible. Your Loader will set them aside, though donation is not guaranteed and no receipt is promised.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible

Heavily Damaged

  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Planada disposal rules most residents don't know

Illegal dumping along rural roads can bring citations and cleanup costs. These state and county rules shape where cleanout items go in Planada and unincorporated Merced County.

Rule 01

Hauling more than nine tires requires state registration

CalRecycle requires a waste tire hauler registration to transport more than nine waste tires at once. Residents clearing a barn or shop full of old tires can make smaller trips or use a registered tire transporter.

Rule 02

Old fence posts count as treated wood waste

Pressure-treated fence posts, landscape timbers and deck lumber are common on Valley properties, and they fall under California's treated wood waste rules. This wood cannot be burned or chipped into mulch. It must go to a facility approved to accept it.

Rule 03

Televisions and monitors never belong in the trash cart

California classifies televisions, computer monitors and many other electronic devices as universal waste because they can contain lead, mercury and other heavy metals. They are banned from household garbage statewide and must go to an approved collector or recycler.

Rule 04

Burning cleanout debris is off the table in the Valley

Long, dry San Joaquin Valley summers raise fire risk, and California air rules prohibit burning household trash in burn barrels or open piles. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District also tightly restricts residential burning of yard material.

Rule 05

A new mattress delivery can include removing the old one

Under California's mattress recycling law, retailers delivering a new mattress must offer to take back a used one at no charge. The state's Bye Bye Mattress program also supports free drop-off for mattresses and box springs at participating sites.

Rule 06

Refrigerators need hazardous parts removed before scrapping

State law requires refrigerants, mercury switches and parts containing PCBs to be removed from major appliances before they are crushed or recycled. Central Valley heat wears out refrigerators and air conditioners, but they can't be scrapped until this work is done.

Not unless it is part of a scheduled pickup. Planada is unincorporated Merced County, so rules depend on your hauler and the county. Loose items left out without an arranged pickup can be treated as illegal dumping and fined, so confirm with your trash provider first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Planada starts at $75 for a single item, 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 charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules around Merced and the Planada area, and it varies by day. Enter your address during booking to see the real openings. Curbside pickups usually don't need you home, but in-home jobs need access arranged.

Household hazardous waste like paint, pesticides, batteries, and motor oil generally can't go in regular trash or a junk load. This matters in a farming area like Planada, where leftover chemicals are common. Take them to a Merced County hazardous waste drop-off instead.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, good furniture and household goods may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials may go to recyclers. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility.

You pick your items online, enter your Planada address, and choose a time window. The total is shown before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader typically calls ahead, then carries the junk out and loads it, so you don't have to lift anything.

Mainly the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truck volume, often with an estimate on arrival. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a full truckload cleanout, a volume-based hauler may fit better.
