The Problem

Getting junk out of a Colfax house takes longer than it should

You check the city's pickup rules, call a hauler or two, wait on callbacks that never come, and try to line up a friend with a truck. Weeks go by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can help, but they usually come with item limits, advance requests, and a set schedule. Some things get turned away, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, which is hard if it's stuck in a basement.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and see the pile before they'll give you a number. Then they price it by how much of the truck it fills, so you don't know your real cost until the job is half done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers have to be choosy. Stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and anything broken often get refused, and you have to load and drive it there yourself. If you need a receipt, you'll have to set up that donation on your own.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster makes sense for a full gut job, not a single spare room. It can need a permit, it sits in your driveway for days where the whole street can see it, and you still do all the lifting and tossing.

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.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Colfax, from the Interstate 80 exit to the Skunk River

In a town where the big-box stores and disposal options aren't around the corner, an old sofa or a basement full of leftovers can swallow a whole Saturday of borrowed trucks and round trips. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading instead, and genuinely enjoys showing up for Colfax neighbors who've kept this place going.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast when the nearest drop-off point is a drive away, so where things end up matters in Colfax. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, favoring reuse when possible.

Local Disposal Rules

The Colfax disposal rules most residents don't know

Items that break Iowa landfill bans or fall outside the city cleanup list can be refused for disposal, so know these rules for Colfax and Jasper County.

Rule 01

Whole tires are shut out of Iowa landfills

Iowa prohibits landfill disposal of whole waste tires, and the Colfax citywide cleanup leaves tires off its accepted list. Old tires stored in garages and sheds need to go to a tire retailer or a permitted tire collection or processing site.

Rule 02

Colfax's citywide cleanup takes mattresses and bulky furniture free

During the city's cleanup event, Colfax collects mattresses, furniture, TVs, electronics, windows, doors, bicycles, and patio furniture at no charge. Items must be curbside by 7:00 a.m. that Saturday, so timing a cleanout around the event can save a trip.

Rule 03

Leftover paint, oil, and cleaners are excluded from cleanup day

The Colfax cleanup rejects liquids such as paint, oil, and cleaners, along with hazardous waste. Iowa bans used oil from landfills, and the state DNR supports Regional Collection Centers that accept household hazardous materials from residents.

Rule 04

Appliances must be demanufactured before disposal in Iowa

Appliances are not accepted at the Colfax citywide cleanup. Iowa law requires a permitted demanufacturer to remove refrigerants, mercury components, and PCB capacitors from appliances before the remaining metal can be landfilled or recycled, protecting groundwater and air.

Rule 05

Storm branches and fall leaves stay out of the trash

Iowa law generally keeps yard waste out of landfills, and the Colfax cleanup excludes it. After spring thunderstorms or autumn leaf drop, residents should separate limbs and leaves for composting rather than mixing them with household junk.

Rule 06

Dead car batteries cannot go to any Iowa landfill

Iowa bans lead-acid batteries, like the car and mower batteries that often fail during cold Iowa winters, from landfill disposal. State law requires retailers selling these batteries to take back used ones when customers buy replacements.

Don't count on it. Colfax is a small city and I couldn't confirm a bulk curbside pickup program, so items left out without arrangements could be treated as illegal dumping. Call Colfax City Hall to ask about your hauler's bulk rules before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Colfax starts at $85, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules around Colfax and the Des Moines area, so enter your address during booking to see open times. Booking earlier in the day improves your odds, and next-day slots are usually easier to find.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups, since items can be left out with access notes. For items inside your home, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions when booking. Your Loader gives notice before arriving.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, batteries, and oil generally can't go in household trash or most hauler pickups. Large or restricted items often need special handling too. Check with Jasper County or the Colfax city office for current local disposal options.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance by local charities and facilities. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what nearby partners accept.

You pick your items online, see the price, choose a time window, and book. Your Loader gives notice before arriving, then removes the items and hauls them away. The total is confirmed before booking, so there's no estimate on pickup day.
