The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Hudson takes more than it should

You search online, call city hall to ask about bulky items, and leave messages with a few haulers. One quotes a vague range, another never calls back. Weeks later, the pile still sits where it started.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can work well for a single couch or chair. But they usually come with a set schedule, a request process, and limits on what qualifies. You still have to drag everything to the street yourself, and refrigerant appliances or renovation debris often need separate arrangements.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, then price by how much of the truck you fill. You won't know the real total until they're standing in your driveway, which makes it hard to plan or compare.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation drop-offs want items in good, resellable condition, and they have every right to be choosy. A stained mattress, a scratched dresser, or a broken recliner will probably get turned away. And you still have to lift it, load it, and drive it there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container makes sense for a full gut job, not for clearing one basement or garage. You have to book the delivery and pickup, find a spot on your driveway or the street, and do all the heavy lifting yourself while it sits in front of your house for days.

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 Hudson, from Highway 63 to the rest of Black Hawk County

Around here, everybody knows someone with a pickup, but borrowing it for a dump run still eats a Saturday, and nobody wants to owe that favor over an old sectional. Your Loaders lift, carry, and clear it out, and they genuinely like showing up for Hudson neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Where a couch, mattress, or old dresser ends up matters as much as getting it out of the house. In Hudson, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces have a chance at a second life.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be set aside for donation, where local options allow. Your Loader carries them out, though availability and acceptance vary by 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 not fit for donation may be separated for recycling when possible, such as metal frames or sturdy materials. Outcomes depend on item condition and available local options.

  • 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 broken bulky items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting, and no Hudson facility is assumed or guaranteed.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Hudson disposal rules most residents don't know

Tossing the wrong item can get a load turned away at the landfill, so here is what applies to cleanouts in Hudson and across Black Hawk County.

Rule 01

Whole tires are banned from Iowa landfills

Iowa prohibits disposing of whole waste tires in sanitary landfills, and the state regulates tire stockpiles because they pose fire and mosquito breeding risks. Old tires need to go through a tire collection site or processor rather than a regular trash load.

Rule 02

Dried latex paint is trash, but oil-based paint is not

Black Hawk County residents can take oil-based paint, solvents, and garage chemicals to the county's household hazardous waste collection program. Latex paint is different. Once it is fully dried with an absorbent like kitty litter, it can usually go out with regular trash.

Rule 03

Old furnaces and water heaters count as appliances in Iowa

Iowa law defines residential furnaces and hot water heaters as major appliances, along with refrigerators and washers. So a furnace swapped out before winter cannot go straight into a landfill. It must first be demanufactured to remove regulated components like mercury switches.

Rule 04

Garage cans and bottles may still carry a deposit refund

Iowa's bottle bill puts a five-cent deposit on most beer, soda, wine, and liquor containers sold in the state. Cases of empties found during a garage or basement cleanout can be redeemed instead of thrown away if they show the Iowa refund marking.

Rule 05

Storm limbs and fall leaves stay out of the garbage

Iowa law generally keeps yard waste out of sanitary landfills. Branches from spring storms and piles of fall leaves should not be mixed into bagged trash or a household junk load. Keep yard debris separate for composting or yard waste collection.

Rule 06

Dead car batteries go back to the store, not the trash

Cold Iowa winters are hard on lead-acid batteries, and state law bans them from landfills. Stores that sell lead-acid batteries have to accept used ones in exchange, so the old battery can go back where the new one came from.

Not unless it is part of your regular trash service. Hudson has no confirmed bulk curbside program I could verify, so call City Hall before setting anything out. Items left without approval can be treated as illegal dumping.

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

Sometimes, depending on Loader availability in the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area. Enter your address when booking to see live open time slots. For outdoor pickups you usually don't need to be home, and for indoor pickups someone should be there or leave access notes.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, and batteries generally can't go in household trash or a hauler's truck. Appliances, tires, and demolition debris often carry separate disposal fees or rules at area landfills and transfer stations. Check with Black Hawk County's waste agency first.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. They try to recycle materials like metal and cardboard depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to the appropriate disposal facility.

You book online, pick the items, enter your Hudson address, and choose a time window. The price is shown and confirmed before you book. On pickup day your Loader arrives, removes the items, and handles loading and hauling, so you don't lift anything.

The pricing model differs. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truck space and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking. A full cleanout may still suit a truckload hauler better.

It can be for a small load if you have a truck and the time. Landfills and transfer stations in the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area charge per ton or per load, plus extra fees for items like tires or appliances. Per-item pickup saves the lifting, loading, and driving.
