The Problem

Getting junk out of a Monroe home takes more than it should

You search online, call around to ask who handles bulky trash, and leave a few voicemails for haulers. One calls back, one never does. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can be a real help, but they usually limit which items qualify and need to be scheduled ahead. You still have to get everything to the curb yourself, which is tough when it's a heavy appliance or a basement full of old furniture.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

A lot of haulers want to come out and look before they'll give you a number. Then they quote by how much of the truck you fill, so you don't know the real total until the truck is loaded and you've already lost an afternoon.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want items in good, sellable shape, and that makes sense. Worn upholstery, broken pieces, and older electronics often get turned away. The nearest drop-off may also be a drive away, and you still have to carry and load everything yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster sits in your driveway for days, may need permits or HOA sign-off, and depends on a delivery and pickup schedule. You still do all the heavy carrying. For one room or a single cleanout, it's more box than you need.

Pickup Options

Driveway drop-off or carried out from where it sits

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Monroe, along Highway 163 and across southern Jasper County

If you drive to Des Moines for work, your weekdays are spoken for, and a Saturday spent hauling an old sofa or barn leftovers to a dump is nobody's favorite plan. Your Loader carries it out and loads the truck, so you keep your evening. Showing up for Monroe neighbors is what your Loaders like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items are hard to move alone, and in Monroe the real question is where they end up afterward. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so reusable pieces and recyclable materials stay out of the landfill 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 where available. Your Loader carries them out separately, though acceptance depends on what nearby organizations can take.

  • 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 made of recyclable materials, like metal frames or scrap wood, may be recycled when possible. Rural recycling outlets vary, so this is never a guarantee.

  • 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-down bulky items go to responsible disposal at an appropriate facility. Your Loader loads them onto the truck, and hazardous materials may not be accepted.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Monroe disposal rules most residents don't know

Items that break these rules get left at the curb or turned away at the gate, so here is what applies to cleanouts in Monroe and across Jasper County.

Rule 01

Winter Saturday hours at the county landfill shrink sharply

From November 1 through March 31, Saturday hours at the Newton Sanitary Landfill shrink to the first Saturday of each month, mornings only. If you plan a weekend drop-off of mattresses and furniture, which are both accepted there, schedule it around that calendar.

Rule 02

Brush and yard debris belong at the city brush dump

Yard waste is on the excluded list for Monroe's Spring Clean Up Day, so storm-downed limbs and spring trimmings need a different route. The city keeps a brush dump where residents can drop off yard debris, and city hall has details on access.

Rule 03

Burn barrel ash must be completely cool before disposal

The Newton Sanitary Landfill serves Jasper County and lists burn barrel waste among its accepted items, but only once it has completely cooled. Embers that look dead can reignite in a truck bed or trash pile, so give the ash plenty of time first.

Rule 04

Spring Clean Up Day items must be a two-person carry

Monroe holds an annual Spring Clean Up Day in May with Midwest Sanitation. Items must be light enough for two people to carry and must be at the curb by 6 a.m. Waste from businesses, churches, schools, or outside city limits is excluded.

Rule 05

Fluorescent bulbs and mercury thermostats go to hazardous waste

Monroe's Spring Clean Up Day does not take fluorescent bulbs because they contain mercury. The Newton Sanitary Landfill's household hazardous waste program accepts compact fluorescent lamps, fluorescent light bulbs and ballasts, and mercury thermometers and thermostats.

Rule 06

Remodeling debris is barred from the city clean up

Monroe's Spring Clean Up Day will not pick up construction or remodeling materials, and it also refuses anything containing asbestos. Jasper County's Newton Sanitary Landfill does accept construction debris and carpet from residents who haul it themselves.

Generally no. Bulky junk set out without an arranged pickup can be treated as illegal dumping, and regular trash service usually only covers what fits in your cart. Call Monroe City Hall to confirm what your hauler accepts and any limits.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Monroe starts at $85 for a single item, 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, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules in the Des Moines area and the time you book. Enter your address during booking to see open slots, which may include same-day or next-day times for Monroe.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, batteries, and oil are typically barred from curbside trash and landfills in Iowa. Large items and appliances may also need special handling. Check with Jasper County or your hauler before setting anything out.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at nearby facilities. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to a proper disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local options will take.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups, as long as the items are out and you leave access notes. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can give access instructions at booking. Your Loader will also message you before arrival.

Choose your items online, enter your Monroe address, and pick a time window. You see the total before confirming. On pickup day, Loaders arrive, carry the items out, and haul them away, so you don't have to lift or load anything.

The pricing model differs. Traditional haulers often price by truck space and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online and shows the total before booking. For a few items, per-item pricing is often simpler, while a full cleanout may suit truckload pricing.
