The Problem

Truckee has junk options. None of them carry it out

You look up pickup rules, call the hauler's office, and request a few quotes. One company never calls back, another wants to come look first. A week slips by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Scheduled bulky-item pickups from the local waste hauler can help, but they usually need advance requests, set item limits, and leave out things like hazardous materials. You still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, and snow on the driveway can push your plans back.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see your junk in person before they give you a quote, then charge by how much of the truck it fills. You don't know the real number until the truck is loaded, which makes it hard to plan or compare.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores need items they can actually resell, so stained mattresses, worn rental furniture, and broken appliances often get turned away. Most won't come up stairs or onto a deck to get anything either, so you end up doing the loading.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off fits a full remodel, not one cabin bedroom. Narrow streets and tight driveways make it hard to find a place to set it down, rules on placement can vary by community, and it sits there for days while you do all the lifting.

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 work

Your Loaders lift and carry items down steep cabin stairs, out of split-level entries, and off crowded garage shelves. Each is background-checked and rated by real locals in Truckee after each job.

Pickup Options

Set it at the driveway or have it carried out

Choose curbside when items already sit at the bottom of your driveway, ready for your Loaders to lift into the truck. Full-service fits better for vacation rental turnovers and cabins with lofts or lower-level bunk rooms, where your Loaders carry furniture and mattresses out from inside.

Serving Truckee, from Donner Lake to Martis Valley

Anyone here knows the snow sets the calendar. One storm can bury the driveway, the deck, and your plan to get that old sectional to the dump before the weekend. Your Loader lifts, carries, and loads when conditions allow, and LoadUp genuinely likes showing up for the neighbors who keep this town running year-round.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Donation Pickup

Furniture, bikes, and household goods in clean, usable shape may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside during loading instead of mixing them with debris.

  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Local Disposal Rules

The Truckee disposal rules most residents don't know

Repeat trash violations in Truckee can escalate from fines to a required bear box, so these rules matter for anyone clearing out a home in Truckee, Nevada County.

Rule 01

Cut branches from defensible space work can be chipped

Much of Truckee sits in designated fire hazard severity zones, where California law requires defensible space around structures. Truckee Fire Protection District runs a chipping program for cut branches, an alternative to hauling woody debris away yourself.

Rule 02

Refrigerators need their refrigerant removed before disposal

California law requires refrigerants and other materials needing special handling, such as mercury switches, to be removed from major appliances before they are crushed or disposed of. Freezers, refrigerators, and air conditioners all fall under this rule.

Rule 03

Trash can't go out before 5 a.m. on collection day

Town of Truckee code bars setting trash out before 5 a.m. on collection day, since overnight bags draw bears. Repeat violations bring escalating fines and can trigger an order to install an animal-resistant enclosure, often called a bear box.

Rule 04

Retailers must offer to take your old mattress

Under California law, mattress retailers must offer to take back a used mattress free when delivering a new one. The statewide Bye Bye Mattress program also runs free drop-off sites for mattresses and box springs.

Rule 05

Old deck boards count as treated wood waste

Pressure-treated lumber from decks, fences, and railings is regulated as treated wood waste in California. It cannot be burned or tossed in a household cart and must go to a facility authorized to accept it, useful when replacing winter-damaged decking.

Rule 06

Old TVs and monitors are banned from the trash

California treats televisions, computer monitors, and many other electronics as universal waste because they can contain lead and mercury. They cannot go in a garbage cart and must be taken to an authorized collector or recycler.

Only through a scheduled pickup. Truckee residents can book up to two free bulky item curbside collections per year through Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal at (530) 583-7800. Items left out without an appointment can be treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Truckee starts at $75, and curbside pickup takes $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. Truckee's two free yearly bulk pickups are cheaper for qualifying items.

Often, depending on the schedule and your address. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability, and next-day is more common in busy seasons. Enter your address during booking to see what is open. For curbside items you don't need to be home, and indoor pickups need access arranged.

Each free pickup covers one bulky item plus up to 3 cubic yards of recyclables, e-waste, and universal waste, and no single item can weigh over 200 lbs. Only two free pickups are allowed per year. Extra pickups cost a fee, so bigger cleanouts often need a hauler.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Anything that can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, and donation or recycling is never guaranteed for every item.

You choose your items online, see the price upfront, and pick an arrival window. A Loader typically calls or texts before arriving, then removes the items and takes them away. The total is confirmed before booking, so there are no surprises on pickup day.

Household hazardous waste like paint, motor oil, pesticides, and batteries should not go in regular trash. Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal customers have had free drop-off by appointment at the Eastern Regional MRF on Cabin Creek Road. Call (530) 583-7800 to confirm current dates.
