The Problem

Nobody in Johnstown makes this part easy

You start by searching. Then you call about large item pickup, wait on a callback, text two haulers who never answer, and get a vague quote from a third. Two weekends later, the pile has not moved.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Residential service here runs through a hauler under contract with the town, and bulky items are arranged by request with advance notice, not set out beside your Monday or Wednesday cart. Some categories are excluded, added charges can apply, and terms change. Confirm current rules with the town.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

The standard model asks for a window: someone drives out, eyeballs your stuff, then quotes by how much truck space it fills. You learn what it costs with the truck already parked out front, and the number can move again once loading starts.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Drop-off sites take what they can resell, and the standard is condition, not sentiment: no tears, stains, pet damage, missing hardware, or anything that smells like a basement. Many pass on upholstered pieces and older appliances entirely, and you are still hauling the rejects home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off means picking a delivery date, checking whether it can sit on the street or only on your own concrete, and loading every piece yourself. Plenty of neighborhoods here carry HOA rules about what parks outside, and one room rarely fills a container.

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 who show up ready for the heavy end

Your Loaders handle the awkward part: a chest freezer wedged behind a packed garage shelf, a sectional up walkout basement stairs. They're background checked and rated by real locals in Johnstown after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Match the service level to where your items are sitting

Curbside fits when everything is already out at the street or staged on a wide driveway, and your Loaders take it from there. Pick full service when the treadmill is still upstairs or the fence panels are stacked behind a shed, and your Loaders will bring it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving all of Johnstown, from the Little Thompson to both sides of the county line

Around here, one spring windstorm can flatten a fence line and park somebody's trampoline three yards over, and the cleanup pile always lands in the driveway on a workday. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, splinters and all. We like the people here, and showing up for them is the good part of the job.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Not everything carried out of a Johnstown garage belongs in the same pile. Your Loaders sort by condition while loading, setting aside what might stay useful and keeping it out of the landfill when local options allow.

Visible Wear

  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Local Disposal Rules

The Johnstown disposal rules most residents don't know

Skip these steps in Johnstown and you risk a refused pickup or a code enforcement notice; Weld and Larimer County disposal rules apply here too.

Rule 01

Bulk items require a scheduled pickup through the town hauler

Johnstown contracts with Waste Connections for residential trash collection, and oversized items fall outside standard weekly service. Residents arrange bulk collection separately through the hauler, which charges $15 per item.

Rule 02

Construction debris and heavy rubble stay out of carts

Town pickup guidelines exclude dirt, sod, brick, concrete, rock and hot ashes, along with tires, batteries, motor oil and liquid paint. Those materials damage collection trucks and belong at a landfill or transfer station instead.

Rule 03

Colorado bans electronics from every landfill statewide

The Electronic Recycling Jobs Act has prohibited landfilling televisions, monitors, computers, printers, tablets and game consoles since July 2013, because lead and mercury can leach into groundwater. Haulers may not knowingly collect them for disposal.

Rule 04

Freon appliances need certified refrigerant recovery first

Federal Clean Air Act rules require a certified technician to recover refrigerant from refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners before they are scrapped. Weld County advises calling salvage yards ahead, since many require proof the coolant was professionally removed.

Rule 05

Yard debris is composted only when it is clean

Larimer County accepts branches, grass, leaves and clean lumber as green waste, but rejects soil, root balls, weeds, plywood and treated or painted wood. Burning yard waste outdoors requires a permit, and burning household trash is illegal statewide.

Rule 06

Piled junk on your property counts as a nuisance

Johnstown's municipal code declares accumulated trash and debris on a premises a nuisance, and police department code enforcement officers may inspect properties and issue violation notices requiring abatement rather than waiting for a complaint.

Not with regular trash. The Town contracts with Waste Connections, and curbside bulk item pickup runs $15 per item that you schedule in advance by calling 303-288-2100. Items set out without a scheduled pickup may be left behind, and hazardous materials are never collected curbside.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Johnstown starts at $75 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickups take $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 upfront before you book.

Yes, same-day pickup is often open when you book before noon, and next-day is widely available across the Johnstown area. Enter your zip code during booking to see live windows for your address, whether you're in Thompson River Ranch, Carlson Farms, or Historic Downtown.

Waste Connections won't collect hazardous materials like motor oil, liquid paint, pesticides, lead-acid batteries, or tires, and construction debris such as concrete and brick is also excluded. Those items must go to Weld County Landfill at 19751 WCR 5 or a proper disposal site. LoadUp also cannot take paints, chemicals, or asbestos.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever possible. Furniture and household goods are routed to local charities when they're in good shape, electronics and metals go to recyclers depending on acceptance, and only what's left heads to a licensed disposal site.

You pick your items online, choose a date, and lock in your price before anyone is dispatched. On pickup day your Loaders call roughly 30 minutes ahead. For curbside jobs you don't need to be home, and for in-home removals someone should be present or leave access notes.

It comes down to pricing and booking. Junk King and 1-800-GOT-JUNK typically charge by truckload volume and quote on site once a crew arrives, so your number isn't final until then. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before pickup day, which is often cheaper for one or two items.
