The Problem

Getting junk out of Tustin shouldn't take all month

You search for options, call the trash line, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. One never calls back, another wants to come look first. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in your garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Tustin's city bulk pickup program is worth checking, but it runs on the franchised hauler's schedule, has item limits, and expects everything at the curb. If your items are upstairs, inside a townhome, or include restricted items like electronics, it may not fit.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't give a number until someone comes out to look, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That fraction is their call. You give up an afternoon for the estimate and still can't be sure what the final bill will be.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be choosy. Stains, scratches, missing parts, or a sofa that won't fit their sales floor can all get a no. Even when they say yes, you're usually the one who loads it up and drives it over.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster can make sense for a full remodel. For one room of junk, it means booking drop-off and pickup windows, possibly checking permit or HOA rules, and leaving a steel bin on your driveway for days. And you still 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.

Pickup Options

Set it out front or leave it where it sits

Curbside makes sense if the item is already out on your Tustin Ranch driveway or pulled to the front of the garage. If it is still upstairs in a Columbus Square or Tustin Legacy condo, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out through shared hallways and elevators, following whatever access rules your building sets.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Tustin, from Old Town to Tustin Ranch and everywhere in between

Let's be honest, a mattress strapped to a car roof and a trip down the 5 or the 55 at rush hour is nobody's idea of a Saturday. Locals already know that merge by heart. Your Loaders carry it out and load it up, and they genuinely like showing up for Tustin neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items are hard to move on your own, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Tustin, your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside by your Loader for donation where available. If you need a receipt, contact a donation organization directly, because LoadUp cannot provide one.

  • 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 still hold usable materials, like metal frames, wood, or some electronics and mattresses, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader can separate them where local programs allow.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as broken sofas or waterlogged furniture, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and disposal sites depend on the job and current local conditions.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Tustin disposal rules most residents don't know

Miss Tustin's 7 a.m. cart deadline or leave items beside the cart, and they stay at the curb. These rules apply to cleanouts across Tustin and Orange County.

Rule 01

Refrigerators and AC units need refrigerant removed before scrapping

California classifies refrigerants, mercury switches, and PCBs in major appliances as materials requiring special handling that must be removed before an appliance is crushed or recycled. Federal law also prohibits knowingly venting refrigerant into the air.

Rule 02

Move-out cardboard needs to be flattened or scheduled

Tustin's collection rules state that items not in carts will not be collected, so loose boxes beside the recycling cart stay put. Residents can instead schedule a free pickup of flattened cardboard boxes, paper, and bundles or bags of recyclable materials.

Rule 03

Permitted remodels must divert most construction and demolition debris

California's CALGreen building code requires covered construction projects to recycle or salvage at least 65 percent of nonhazardous construction and demolition debris. During Orange County's rainy season, staged debris also needs to stay out of gutters, since storm drains carry runoff untreated to the ocean.

Rule 04

Apartment bulky pickups go through your property manager

Single-family homes in Tustin get up to four bulky item collections per calendar year, each covering up to four items, at no added cost. In multifamily complexes, CR&R only schedules at the request of the account holder, and a fee applies.

Rule 05

Batteries and old electronics are banned from California trash

California treats household batteries, fluorescent lamps, and many electronics such as TVs and computer monitors as universal waste that cannot go in the trash. OC Waste & Recycling runs free household hazardous waste collection centers for county residents, including one in nearby Irvine.

Rule 06

Food scraps belong in the green cart with yard trimmings

Under California's SB 1383, which requires residents and businesses to recycle organics, Tustin has accepted food scraps in the green cart since July 1, 2021. CR&R takes all collected organics to its composting facility, where garden cleanups and spoiled pantry food become soil amendment.

Not unless it is part of a scheduled bulky item pickup from your trash hauler. Items left curbside without an appointment can be treated as illegal dumping. Check with your hauler for how many pickups your service includes and how to schedule.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Tustin starts at $75, and curbside or outdoor 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. Local haulers often average around $150, within a $75 to $375 range.

Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on the schedule and your address. Enter your Tustin zip code during booking to see live availability for your address. Next-day and later dates are usually easier to get, especially on weekends.

Not for curbside pickups. Leave items outside with any access notes. For in-home pickups, someone should be there, or you can give access instructions when you book. This matters for homes in gated areas like Tustin Ranch or Columbus Square.

Household hazardous waste like paint, solvents, and batteries should not go in regular trash or a junk haul. Orange County residents can drop it off free at the Huntington Beach (17121 Nichols St) or Irvine (6411 Oak Canyon) centers, open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Loaders sort items and aim to donate usable pieces and recycle materials whenever possible, depending on acceptance by local partners. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition.

Pricing model and booking flow. Truck-load haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by how much space your items fill and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before anyone arrives. A full garage cleanout may still suit truck-load pricing better.
