The Problem

Coralville has junk options, just not easy ones

You check the city website, call about pickup rules, request a few hauler quotes, and hear back from maybe one. Meanwhile the garage stays full and another weekend slips past with everything still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules can handle the occasional bulky item, but they usually require setting it up ahead of time, follow specific item rules, and expect you to drag everything to the street yourself. Appliances, renovation debris, or a whole-house cleanout often fall outside what's allowed.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the junk in person before they quote, then price it by how much of the truck it fills. That number can shift once loading starts. You block off time for the visit and still don't know the final cost.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want clean, sellable goods, so a stained mattress, a scuffed dresser, or a worn couch from a rental turnover may get turned away. You also still need a way to get the heavy pieces there, which usually means borrowing a truck and a friend.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full gut renovation, not a basement corner or a single bedroom. You coordinate delivery and pickup, may need permission to place it, lose driveway space for days, and still do every bit of the lifting 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.

Background-checked Loaders who arrive ready to lift

Carrying a dresser down narrow apartment stairs or pulling an old freezer up from a basement is routine for your Loaders, who are background-checked and rated by real locals in Coralville after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders

Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it right where it is

If your items are already in the driveway or just inside an open garage, the curbside option keeps the visit quick and simple. For a sectional in an upstairs apartment or a washer stuck in the basement, choose full-service, and your Loaders will carry everything out from inside for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Coralville, from the Iowa River to the I-80 corridor

Anyone who has tried to cut across the Coralville Strip on a busy afternoon with a box spring bungeed to the roof knows how that ends. Between the stoplights and the turn lanes, a simple dump run swallows your day. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for this town.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items don't all end up in the same place, and where they go depends on their condition. In Coralville, your Loader sorts each load toward donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and acceptance depends on the receiving organization.

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

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or some appliances and electronics, may be recycled where available. Acceptance depends on the item and local facility rules.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky pieces go to an appropriate disposal site as a last step. Your Loader carries them out and loads them, so you never haul them yourself.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Coralville disposal rules most residents don't know

Extra brush bundles get left at the curb, and the area landfill refuses several common materials outright, so these Coralville and Johnson County rules matter before any cleanout.

Rule 01

Tear-off roof shingles can be recycled into asphalt paving

After hail damage or a reroof, the Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center accepts clean, separated loads of composite asphalt roof shingles. These are recycled for use in asphalt paving. A load only qualifies if the shingles are kept free of other debris.

Rule 02

Anything that plugs in, wires in, or charges gets recycled

Coralville counts anything that plugs in, wires in, or charges as electronics. Electronics and appliances get recycled instead of going in the trash. Pickup costs a fee, needs an appointment, and happens on the last consecutive Thursday and Friday of the month.

Rule 03

Old carpet only goes curbside if rolled under four feet

Coralville's special bulky pickup takes furniture, toilets, and carpet. Carpet must be rolled, secured, and less than four feet long. Requests must be confirmed by the Tuesday before pickup, and the charge is added to your utility bill.

Rule 04

Fireplace and wood stove ashes cannot go out hot

Iowa winters mean wood stove and fireplace season. The Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center, which serves Johnson County, says hot ashes must never go in the garbage. The same rule covers batteries, oil, and pressurized tanks.

Rule 05

Cardboard is banned from the area landfill, with one exception

The Iowa City Landfill and Recycling Center, which serves Johnson County, does not allow cardboard to be landfilled, so boxes need to be recycled. Dirty cardboard pizza boxes are the exception and can go in Coralville yard waste bags to be composted.

Rule 06

Storm-downed limbs must be bundled to strict size limits

Coralville collects brush at the curb only in bundles tied with twine. Each bundle can be up to 18 inches wide, with limbs no more than 2 inches thick and 4 feet long. Anything past 8 bundles is left behind, and the city does not clear storm debris from private property.

Not unless it fits your regular trash service rules. Bulky items set out without arrangement with your hauler can be treated as illegal dumping. Check with the City of Coralville or your garbage hauler about bulky item rules before setting anything out.

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

Same-day slots are sometimes available, depending on Loader schedules in the Coralville and Iowa City area. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for indoor jobs someone should be present or leave access notes.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, batteries, and oversized or heavy debris usually can't go in standard curbside trash. Johnson County area facilities handle hazardous materials separately, so confirm accepted items and fees with them. Loaders can haul many bulky items but not hazardous waste.

Loaders aim to keep items out of the landfill whenever possible. Usable furniture and household goods may go to local donation partners depending on acceptance, and recyclables are sorted when options allow. Anything that can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

You select your items online, see the price upfront, and pick an available time window. Your Loader typically sends a heads-up before arriving, then removes the items and handles loading. The first item includes the base fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the total is confirmed before booking.
