Junk has a way of piling up until it's one more thing on the list. Book LoadUp, see your price upfront, and get a quick pickup that clears it for good.
You search online, call the county, and leave messages with a few haulers. One never calls back, another wants to come look first. Meanwhile the pile by the shed is still there, another weekend later.
Alva is unincorporated, so you go through Lee County's bulk pickup program, not a city one. That usually means sticking to set schedules, staying within item limits, and dragging everything to the road yourself. On a long driveway, the hardest part of the job still falls on you.
Lots of haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, and getting someone out to an acreage property can take days. Then the price depends on how much of the truck they think you filled, so you don't really know the cost until they're done.
Donation centers want items they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken pieces usually get turned away. You end up hauling the load across town just to bring half of it home. Donating helps when it works, but it won't handle a whole cleanout.
For a garage corner or one room of old furniture, a roll-off is a lot of container. You'll be planning around delivery and pickup windows, finding solid ground to set it on without tearing up your yard, and doing all the lifting and loading yourself.

Hauling a busted sofa or a week of fallen limbs toward Fort Myers means a long drive down State Road 80, and the truck bed never fits it all. Your Loader comes to you instead, up the long driveway or around the barn, and carries it out. LoadUp and your Loaders like showing up for Alva neighbors.
Bulky items pile up fast on larger Alva properties, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow, and responsible disposal for the rest.
Furniture, appliances, and sporting goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader can't guarantee a receipt or a specific recipient, but will look for a fit.
Items too worn to donate, such as scrap metal appliances or broken frames, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates what can be recycled from what can't as the truck is loaded.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or waterlogged pieces, like ruined mattresses or sagging sofas, are hauled away by your Loader for responsible disposal at an appropriate facility, not left on your Alva property.
Bringing chemicals to the wrong drop-off or hauling bulky items yourself can mean extra trips and weight-based charges. These rules govern disposal in Alva under unincorporated Lee County's system.
Lee County ordinance requires all solid waste generated in unincorporated areas like Alva to be disposed of at a county-designated facility, such as the Lee/Hendry County Landfill. Construction and demolition debris is specifically carved out of that requirement.
Up to 50 pounds of loose palm fronds may be stacked neatly at the curb. Anything beyond that must be bundled at 50 pounds or less. Skip plastic bags, since the county shreds yard waste into mulch and OrganicLee compost.
Lee County's citizen drop-off at the Resource Recovery Facility takes non-chemical items only. Old paint, fertilizer, pesticides, fuel, and other chemicals must go to the Household Chemical Waste and Electronics Recycling Facility, a point included in the county's pre-storm cleanup guidance.
Rural properties around Alva tend to accumulate old tires, but Lee County curbside service collects only up to two car tires per week. Larger tires are not picked up at the curb and must be taken to the county's Buckingham facility.
After storms, fence sections and ornamental wood borders often end up in brush piles. Lee County has reminded residents, including after Hurricane Idalia, that these items are not yard waste or recycling, so they should not be mixed in.
Lee County curbside service picks up large, bulky items such as furniture and household appliances as needed. Residents who cannot wait for a scheduled pickup can bring non-chemical items to the Resource Recovery Facility's Citizen Drop Off area, where charges are based on weight.

(678) 884-4738Only what Lee County's weekly collection covers. Alva is unincorporated, so county solid waste service applies, and set-out is by 6:30 a.m. Dumping waste on someone else's property in unincorporated Lee County is prohibited under county ordinance.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Alva starts at $80, 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 your exact total is confirmed before booking.
Sometimes, depending on Loader availability in your area. Enter your Alva address during booking to see open time slots. For curbside items you usually don't need to be home, and for indoor pickups you can leave access instructions.
Paint, pool chemicals, pesticides and other household chemicals can't go in regular trash. Lee County's collection facility at 6441 Topaz Court in Fort Myers takes them, and you can call 239-533-8000 first. Large items like furniture or appliances may need a special pickup arranged.
Loaders try to keep items out of the landfill. Usable pieces may go to local donation partners when they're accepted, and recyclable materials are sorted out whenever possible. What can't be donated or recycled goes to the proper disposal facility.
You book online, pick your item and a time window, and see the total before confirming. A Loader heads to your property in the window, hauls the items away, and you pay as agreed. Rural driveways and farm properties are fine, so note any gate or access details.
Mainly pricing and booking. Traditional haulers often price by truck space and confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so you know the total before anyone arrives. For a full-property cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
