The Problem

Aspen gives you options, not an easy answer.

It starts with searching, then a phone call that passes you between offices, then messages to a few haulers. Two of them never write back. A month later, the junk is still sitting where it was.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

The city's spring clean-up is the free option: one week in May, by appointment, piles sorted by type at the curb, nothing taken from alleys. Refrigerators, televisions, anything with a memory chip, and remodel debris are left behind. Miss the sign-up and you wait a year.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Most haulers want to see the job before they quote it, so you book one appointment for the estimate and another for the work. Quotes keyed to how much of the truck you fill can move once loading starts, and from out of state you are guessing.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Reuse and resale outlets take what they can sell, which rules out anything stained, cracked, missing hardware, or no longer working. What they accept shifts with the season and their floor space, and most expect you to deliver it yourself, downvalley and in one piece.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off means finding legal space for it on a tight lot or in the right-of-way, which can mean a permit, then a delivery date, then a pull date. Neighbors notice it. Condo and HOA rules often say no. And you still load every piece yourself.

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 and do the work right

A treadmill coming up from a finished basement or out through a single-car garage takes planning. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Aspen after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Pick the service level that matches your situation

Choose curbside if the old dresser is already sitting outside at the street, in the driveway, or beside a shared enclosure, since nothing has to come out of the unit. Go full-service when the item is still inside a condo, a lodging unit between guests, or a crawlspace, and your Loaders handle the carry-out from wherever it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving all of Aspen, on both sides of the Castle Creek Bridge

Everything here runs on the offseason calendar: April and November, when town goes quiet and every closet, garage, and storage unit finally gets opened. A wildlife-resistant enclosure was sized for garbage bags, not box springs. Your Loaders like working that window with you, because the people who keep this town running deserve an easy one.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

What leaves your Aspen address does not all end up in the same place. Condition decides: a usable dresser, a broken one, and a waterlogged mattress each follow a different path once your Loader has it loaded.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, working small appliances, and gear that is clean and intact may be offered to reuse or resale outlets when local options allow. What those outlets accept shifts, so nothing is guaranteed.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

A torn sectional or a dead treadmill still has metal in it. Where local processors accept the material, your Loader may separate scrap metal, electronics, and mattresses, though what qualifies changes.

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

Responsible Disposal

Water-damaged mattresses, crushed particleboard, and hot tub shells usually have no reuse path left. Those go to permitted disposal; Pitkin County operates a solid waste center near Aspen, with acceptance depending on the item.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Aspen disposal rules most residents don't know

Mishandled loads here can trigger wildlife citations or forfeited project deposits, so Aspen and Pitkin County rules deserve a look before anything leaves your property.

Rule 01

Aspen does not run its own waste service

The city operates no municipal collection or bulk pickup program. Licensed private haulers serve every property, and residential rates are billed by container volume, so oversized items rarely fit within normal curbside service.

Rule 02

Wildlife-resistant containers are required citywide

Refuse stored outdoors must sit in approved wildlife-resistant containers, which may only be out between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. on collection day. Loose bags at the curb are prohibited, and repeat violations escalate.

Rule 03

Colorado law keeps electronics out of landfills

Televisions, monitors, computers, printers and similar devices cannot be landfilled anywhere in Colorado. The Pitkin County Solid Waste Center sends them to a certified recycler. Microwaves, stoves and speakers count as appliances, not electronics.

Rule 04

Freon appliances get evacuated before scrapping

Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and water coolers are accepted at the county solid waste center for a flat per-item fee. Refrigerant is removed on site to protect the atmosphere, then the metal is scrapped.

Rule 05

Construction debris must be sorted before disposal

Aspen permits above the construction disturbance threshold require a Green Halo waste plan, separation of recoverable concrete, metal, cardboard and untreated lumber, and a refundable deposit. Unsorted loads cost more and jeopardize that refund.

Rule 06

Yard debris is composted, not buried

Branches, grass and leaves are accepted at the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center by weight and processed into compost sold back to the community. The Rio Grande Recycle Center also takes household yard waste.

No, the city of Aspen does not run trash or bulk pickup, so private haulers handle disposal. Bear ordinances only allow containers at the street from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on collection day. Each May the city Street Department runs a Spring Clean-Up for large items, schedule by calling 970-920-5130.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Aspen starts at $75, and curbside or driveway pickups take $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, with your total confirmed upfront. If you haul it yourself, the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center charges by weight, around $70 per ton for trash.

Yes, same-day and next-day junk removal is available in Aspen when slots are open. Book online or by phone and enter your zip to see live availability for your address. Mountain access and snow season can affect loading time, so booking earlier helps during winter months.

Private haulers cannot collect household hazardous materials like paint, cleaners, pesticides, or gasoline. Those must go to the Pitkin County Solid Waste Center for safe disposal. Aspen's recycling ordinance also keeps grass and leaves out of the trash, so yard waste gets handled separately from your regular junk.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, avoiding the landfill whenever options allow. The Pitkin County Solid Waste Center has a limited remaining lifespan, so diversion genuinely matters here. Electronics and batteries route to proper recycling rather than the trash.

For curbside or outdoor pickups, no, just leave the junk accessible and add notes at booking. For in-home removal, someone should be present or you can provide access instructions ahead of time. Your Loader typically calls before arriving so you know when to expect them.

LoadUp prices per item online and locks your quote before anyone arrives. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King, plus local crews such as AAA Rousse, often quote by truckload or weight after an in-person look. For single or two-item jobs, upfront pricing usually costs less.
