The Problem

Getting junk off the property is harder than it looks

You look up county rules, call a hauler or two, and wait on callbacks that never come. One crew wants to see it first, another isn't sure they'll drive out this far. Weeks pass, and the pile stays put.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Out here, there's no town-run pickup to call. Any bulky-item service usually comes through the county or its contracted hauler, often with item limits, advance requests, and set dates. Appliances, tires, and large loads may be excluded, and you still drag everything out to the road.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come look before they'll give you a number, and then they price by how much of the truck you fill. The amount you're told at the door can change once they start loading, so you don't really know the cost until they leave.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donating is a good idea, but it rarely covers everything. Charities turn down stained mattresses, worn couches, and anything broken or missing parts. They may also be a long drive away, so the leftover items still need somewhere to go, and you're the one hauling them there.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

Renting a roll-off means arranging delivery and pickup windows, finding solid ground for it, and maybe getting a permit. After that, you still do all the lifting and loading yourself. For one shed, a spare bedroom, or a rental turnover, it's more container than you need.

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 ready to lift

Your Loader walks the long stretch to a detached shed out back, then carries every piece to the truck. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Stratford after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

Curbside works well when an old recliner or washer is already out on your driveway or near the road, since most homes here have open ground for staging. When items are still in a back bedroom, a crowded garage, or a rental you are turning over, choose full-service and your Loaders carry everything out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Stratford, along Highway 41 and across the old Tulare Lake bed

In a small Valley town like Stratford, the nearest big store or drop-off is a drive away, and a half-day round trip with a sagging couch in the truck bed is nobody's idea of a Saturday. Your Loader comes to you, carries it out from the garage or back lot, and loads up. Stratford neighbors deserve that.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Out in Stratford, the nearest drop-off point can be a long drive, so where a bulky item ends up matters. Your Loader sorts each pickup by condition, aiming to keep usable things out of landfills when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, small appliances, and household goods in clean, working shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader handles the lifting, and availability can vary in rural Kings County.

  • 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 fit for reuse, such as metal frames, old fencing, or scrap pieces, may be separated for recycling where available. Your Loader sorts them as they load.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or soiled bulky items, like ruined mattresses or broken-down sheds, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader clears them from garages and side yards. Hazardous materials and chemicals are typically excluded.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Stratford disposal rules most residents don't know

Illegal dumping or burning can lead to citations and cleanup costs, and these state and regional rules apply to cleanouts in Stratford and across Kings County.

Rule 01

Burning trash or brush on your property is off-limits

The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District bans burning household garbage, and burning yard waste at homes is banned across the valley floor. Hot, still summer air already traps ozone and smoke, so breaking the rule can bring a violation notice.

Rule 02

A new mattress delivery comes with a take-back option

California law requires retailers who deliver a new mattress to offer to take back the used one at no extra charge. The recycling fee paid at purchase also funds the Bye Bye Mattress program, where participating sites accept mattresses and box springs.

Rule 03

Old fence posts and grape stakes count as regulated waste

California regulates pressure-treated wood from fences, decks, and posts as treated wood waste. The preservatives contain toxic chemicals, so this wood cannot be burned, turned into mulch, or put in curbside carts. It must go to a facility approved to accept it.

Rule 04

Refrigerators and freezers need refrigerant removed before disposal

California requires a certified appliance recycler to remove refrigerants, mercury switches, and PCB capacitors from major appliances before they are crushed or landfilled. Disposal sites generally will not accept a refrigerator or freezer until this has been done.

Rule 05

Old TVs and computer monitors cannot go in household trash

California classifies televisions, computer monitors, and laptops as covered electronic devices that are banned from household trash. The electronic waste recycling fee charged when the device was bought helps pay approved collectors, so dropping these items off is often free.

Rule 06

Hauling ten or more old tires requires a state registration

CalRecycle requires anyone carrying 10 or more waste tires at one time to hold a waste tire hauler registration. The rule exists to curb illegal dumping, since abandoned tires collect standing water and breed mosquitoes during hot Central Valley summers.

Not unless your hauler has scheduled a pickup. Stratford is unincorporated, so service falls under Kings County rather than a city. Items left out on their own can count as illegal dumping and may be fined. Ask your county waste provider what bulky items they accept.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Stratford starts at $75, and curbside or outdoor 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. Availability depends on Loader coverage near Stratford and how early you book, and rural Kings County addresses can have fewer open slots. Enter your address at booking to see real time options. For curbside pickups, you usually don't need to be home.

Hazardous items such as paint, pesticides, batteries, and chemicals generally can't go in household trash or a hauler's truck. With farms all around Stratford, leftover ag chemicals are a common issue. Kings County runs household hazardous waste options, so check with them first.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and facilities will accept. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to a proper disposal facility. Donation and recycling aren't guaranteed for every item.

You pick your items online, see the price, and choose a pickup window. Your Loader typically gives a heads-up before arriving, then removes the items and hauls them away. Because pricing is set per item upfront, the total shouldn't change on pickup day.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truck space and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online before booking. For a big full-house cleanout, a truckload quote can make sense.
