The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Nevada takes more than a trip to the curb

You look up the city's rules, call around for quotes, and wait on haulers who never call back. Meanwhile the garage stays full, the basement stays blocked, and another weekend goes by with the junk still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules make sense for a stray chair, but they usually come with limits on what's accepted and how it gets set out. Hauling heavy pieces to the curb is still your job, and a whole cleanout rarely fits the rules.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

A lot of haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. Until the truck shows up, you can't be sure what the final bill will be.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers have to be choosy. Worn upholstery, stained mattresses, scuffed furniture, and older appliances often get turned away, so you can end up loading the truck, driving it over, and bringing half of it back home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off takes up your driveway for days and may need a permit or a delivery window to work around. You still do all the lifting yourself, and for one room of stuff you're paying for space you'll never fill.

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.

Loaders who show up ready for the heavy lifting

A chest freezer stuck at the bottom of narrow basement stairs is routine work for your Loader. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Nevada after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the load is already at the end of your driveway or next to the garage door, curbside pickup keeps things simple. For items still in a basement, an upstairs bedroom, or an outbuilding on a larger edge-of-town lot, full-service lets your Loaders carry everything out for you.

  • Same-day or scheduled

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Nevada, from Route 30 out to the Story County roads

Iowa weather does not care about your Saturday plans. Between winter ice, spring storms, and wind that turns a loose tarp into a kite, borrowing a trailer to move an old chest freezer is a gamble. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and we genuinely like showing up for neighbors in Nevada.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast, and what happens after they leave your property matters. In Nevada, your Loader sorts each load by condition, so usable items may be donated and the rest handled responsibly.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

When furniture, household goods, or working items are clean and in good shape, your Loader sets them aside for donation when local options allow. Availability varies, so donation is never guaranteed for any item.

  • 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 ready for donation may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates metal, appliances, and other recyclable materials when local options allow, though recycling is not guaranteed.

  • 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 items, like broken furniture or water-ruined mattresses, are hauled by your Loader to an appropriate disposal site. Hazardous materials and some items have separate rules.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Nevada disposal rules most residents don't know

Breaking Nevada's open burning ordinance can bring a $300 first-offense fine plus court costs. These are the disposal rules that apply in Nevada and across Story County.

Rule 01

Household chemicals need an appointment at the Ames plant

Story County residents can drop off household hazardous materials at the Ames Resource Recovery Plant through a Metro Waste Authority partnership. Appointments are for Wednesday afternoons or Saturday mornings. Sharps, light bulbs, and waste oil need no appointment.

Rule 02

Spring brush burning follows a set season and hours

Winter storms leave plenty of downed branches, but Nevada's spring burning season for yard waste runs only April 1 through May 15, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Piles must be 40 feet from structures, including wooden fences and utility poles.

Rule 03

Old electronics go to county recycling drives at the fairgrounds

Story County's Go Green Team has worked with an Urbandale electronics recycler to hold recycling drives at the Story County Fairgrounds in Nevada. These events give residents a local drop-off for old and unwanted electronics. Check the city event calendar for dates.

Rule 04

Trash service comes from a licensed collector you choose

Nevada uses an open collection system, so each household chooses its own service from a list of licensed collectors. Extra bags and bulky items are scheduled and priced separately through the service you choose.

Rule 05

Burn barrels are not approved for household rubbish

Nevada's open burning ordinance says burn barrels are not approved for burning rubbish or yard waste, so a burn barrel is not a legal way to get rid of cleanout trash. You can't use flammable liquids to start any fire or burn in streets or alleys.

Rule 06

City code lists the legal routes for leaves and clippings

Nevada's solid waste code allows yard waste to go to a licensed collector or a state DNR permitted or registered yard waste facility. It can also be composted under state rules. Story County has held free yard waste and brush drop-off days at GreenRU in Ames.

Not unless it's part of your regular trash service. Bulky items left outside without an arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping. Check with Nevada City Hall or your hauler for current bulky item rules, since policies vary by provider.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Nevada starts at $85, with $5 off for curbside or driveway pickup. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload.

Often, depending on Loader availability near Nevada and Ames. Enter your zip code at booking to see live same-day and next-day openings. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access notes.

The Ames Resource Recovery Plant at 110 Center Ave, about eight miles west, takes free recycling and charges $20 per appliance. Household hazardous materials like paint and batteries go there by appointment. Self-hauling is cheaper for small loads if you have a truck.

Loaders sort items and try to donate usable pieces, with options in the Ames area including Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and Salvation Army. Recyclable items are recycled whenever possible. Anything that can't be reused goes to the proper disposal facility, depending on acceptance.

Choose your items online, enter your Nevada address, and pick a time window. You see the total price upfront before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader typically calls ahead, then carries the junk out and hauls it away, so you don't have to lift anything.

Mainly pricing and booking. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may confirm the final cost at the job. LoadUp prices per item online and locks the total before anyone arrives. For big whole-house cleanouts, a truckload hauler can be a reasonable fit.
