The Problem

In Erie, the options are the hard part

It starts with a search, then a call to the town, then a list of what your hauler will not take. You send three quote requests and hear back from one. Another weekend goes by with the junk still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

There is no town truck here. Each household picks its own licensed hauler, so whether a large item pickup is included, how often it comes, and what gets excluded all depend on the plan you signed up for. Refrigerant appliances and remodel debris usually are not on the list.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

The old model asks you to be home twice: once for someone to walk the pile and quote it, once for the removal itself. Pricing runs by how much of the truck gets filled, which is almost impossible to picture before the estimate lands.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift shops have standards, and they should. Stained upholstery, a sagging mattress, a dresser missing one drawer slide, all of it gets turned away at the dock. Accept that the good pieces go and you are still loading the rejects back into the car.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off ties up your driveway for days and comes with a minimum rental you probably do not need for one room. Many Erie neighborhoods sit inside metro districts or HOAs with their own rules about what can park out front, 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.

Loaders you can trust inside your home

Your Loaders carry a sleeper sofa up from a finished basement or clear a detached garage with narrow alley access. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Erie after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Choose the service level that fits your access

Curbside works when everything is already at the street or driveway and nothing needs to come out of the house, which suits newer Erie homes where association rules limit how long items can sit out front. Full-service fits when a treadmill is still in the basement or an old workbench is wedged into a detached garage, since your Loaders handle the carrying.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving every neighborhood in Erie, on both sides of Coal Creek

Half the town is out on Highway 7 or 287 before sunrise and back after dark, which leaves about an hour of daylight to wrestle a sleeper sofa into a borrowed truck. The wind off the plains is no help either. Your Loaders do the carrying, because this town earned its evenings.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

What leaves a garage in Erie rarely leaves as one thing: a sectional, a dryer, a stack of deck boards. Your Loaders sort each item by condition, steering usable pieces away from the landfill when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Items in clean, working condition, such as a dresser or a treadmill, may be passed to a reuse or thrift outlet when nearby options accept that category. Tax receipts require arranging donation directly.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

A broken washer or a sagging mattress still holds steel, foam, and cardboard, so those materials go to recycling channels when processors along the Front Range accept them. Colorado restricts landfilling electronics.

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

Responsible Disposal

Water-damaged sectionals, mold-touched basement carpet, and crumbling deck lumber have no second life, so your Loaders take them to a permitted transfer station or landfill serving the Erie area.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Erie disposal rules most residents don't know

Mishandled electronics, refrigerant appliances, or a curbside roll-off can bring refused loads and code violations in Erie, where Boulder and Weld County disposal rules both apply.

Rule 01

Colorado law bans electronics from landfill disposal

The Electronic Recycling Jobs Act has barred televisions, monitors, CPUs, printers, laptops, tablets, DVD players, and screens larger than four inches from Colorado landfills since 2013. Haulers may not knowingly collect them for disposal; certified recyclers and collection events handle them instead.

Rule 02

Freon appliances need certified refrigerant recovery first

Refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, and dehumidifiers cannot be scrapped or landfilled until an EPA Section 608 certified technician recovers the refrigerant. Venting it is a federal Clean Air Act violation, which is why scrap yards turn away uncertified units.

Rule 03

Street dumpsters and roll-offs require a town permit

Erie requires a permit before a dumpster, roll-off, or storage container sits on a street, alley, or public right of way, submitted at least five days ahead. Containers kept on your own driveway need no permit.

Rule 04

Every hauler working in Erie must be licensed

Town rules require any waste hauler serving Erie residents to hold an Erie license, with diversion reporting, equipment standards, and proof of insurance. Boulder County separately licenses companies that haul trash, recyclables, and construction and demolition debris.

Rule 05

Yard waste has limits at the recycling center

Erie's recycling center accepts grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, plants, and branches under twelve inches across. Soil, sod, rocks, gravel, pet waste, food scraps, and oversized wood are refused, so landscaping and renovation spoils need another outlet.

Rule 06

Pay as you throw pricing is town ordinance

Ordinance 15-2020 applies volume-based pricing across residential Erie, so your bill tracks cart size, with recycling, composting, and an annual large item pickup included. Households in the town program still pay minimum service even when hiring another licensed hauler.

Not without arranging it first. Erie residents contract with private haulers like Republic Services, Western Disposal, or Waste Connections, and bulky items need a scheduled pickup. Everyday junk goes in your cart, and setting large items out loose can mean they get left behind.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Erie starts at $75, and leaving items at the curb or driveway takes $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee, and each additional piece of junk is a flat add-on, so your full total is confirmed before you book. Traditional haulers charge by truckload, often $150 to $600.

Same-day pickup is often open across Erie when you book early in the day, and next-day covers most of the Boulder and Weld County area. Enter your address during booking to see live windows for your spot. Your Loader calls ahead so you know when to expect them.

Electronics, tires, and household hazardous waste like paint, oil, and cleaners are not accepted with regular curbside trash in Erie. Hazardous items route through the Boulder County and Weld County HHW programs, and hard-to-recycle goods go to Eco-Cycle's CHaRM. LoadUp Loaders can haul many of these items for you instead.

Loaders sort items so usable pieces can be donated and recyclables kept out of the landfill whenever options allow. In the Boulder County area that can mean charities like ARC Thrift Stores or the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, with recycling through Eco-Cycle. Outcomes depend on item condition and local acceptance.

You pick your items online or by phone, choose a date, and lock in an upfront price before anyone arrives. On pickup day your Loader texts or calls ahead, confirms the junk, and handles the lifting and loading. For curbside jobs you don't need to be home, just leave items accessible with notes.

It comes down to pricing and booking. 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Junk King, and College Hunks charge by truckload volume and usually confirm your price after an in-person look. LoadUp prices per item online, locked in before the Loaders show up, which is often cheaper for one or two item jobs.
