The Problem

Getting rid of junk in State Center takes more than a weekend

You look up the town's trash rules, call around to see what's allowed, and leave messages with a few haulers who never call back. A month later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Small towns often handle bulky items through a hauler contract or a few pickup days a year, if they offer it at all. That usually means calling ahead, paying for stickers or extra fees, and leaving out items that are too heavy, too messy, or off the list.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

A lot of haulers want to come look at the job before they'll give you a number, and that number is often based on how much of the truck they think you'll fill. You don't know the real total until the truck is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need things they can actually resell, so stained couches, worn mattresses, and broken appliances usually get turned away. Even items that are in good shape still have to be loaded up and hauled there, and that part is on you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container sits in your driveway for days, takes up room, and can leave marks on the lawn. You still have to haul everything out to it yourself, and for one room's worth of junk you end up paying for space you never use.

Loaders you can count on for the heavy lifting

A narrow basement stairway or a crowded machine shed is routine work for your Loaders. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in State Center after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If you can get your items to the end of the driveway or out by the street, curbside pickup is the simpler choice. If a dresser is still upstairs or a pile sits in a detached garage out on your acreage, full-service means your Loaders carry it all out for you.

  • In-home or curbside pickup
  • Same-day or scheduled

Serving State Center, from Highway 30 out to the gravel roads of western Marshall County

In a town where everybody knows whose truck is whose, borrowing one means owing a favor, and during harvest those trucks are spoken for anyway. Your Loader handles the heavy lifting from the garage, shed, or basement, so nobody has to trade a Saturday. Your Loaders genuinely like showing up for State Center folks.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Getting rid of bulky items is only half the job, because where they end up matters too. In State Center, your Loader sorts each load by condition, so usable pieces and scrap are handled differently.

  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Local Disposal Rules

The State Center disposal rules most residents don't know

An uncovered load draws a fee at the Marshall County Landfill scale and mixed loads pay double, so here is how State Center and Marshall County sort cleanout debris.

Rule 01

Leftover gasoline and antifreeze now need a drop-off appointment

As of April 1, 2026, the Marshall County Landfill accepts household hazardous materials such as gasoline, antifreeze, pesticides, and fluorescent and LED bulbs by appointment only, free to residents. Latex paint is not part of the program; once dried, it can go in the landfill.

Rule 02

Downed branches after a storm cannot go to the landfill

Yard waste is on the Marshall County Landfill's unacceptable list, and that includes trees and branches. Limbs brought down by Iowa ice storms or summer winds need to go to the City of Marshalltown's compost site instead of the garbage.

Rule 03

Mattresses, furniture, and roofing tear-off are weighed as garbage

Marshall County classifies construction and roofing debris, mattresses, toilets, bathtubs, railroad ties, and furniture as garbage. Every load is weighed at the scale house, carries a minimum charge, and is unloaded by the customer at the working landfill face.

Rule 04

Furnaces and dehumidifiers are billed as appliances, not trash

The landfill recycles appliances separately for a per-item fee, a list that covers dishwashers, washers, dryers, hot water heaters, furnaces, stoves, dehumidifiers, microwaves, air conditioners, refrigerators, and freezers. Park and check in with the scale operator before unloading.

Rule 05

Lithium-ion and button batteries never belong in the trash

Small batteries, including alkaline, rechargeable, lithium-ion, and button types, are collected free at the Marshall County Landfill scale house and several local drop-off sites. The landfill pushes this program specifically to prevent fires caused by batteries buried in garbage.

Rule 06

A bed frame tossed in with trash doubles the bill

Loads containing recyclables like scrap metal, appliances, tires, or cardboard are charged as mixed loads at double the rate and double the minimum. Bed frames, bicycles, metal grills, and drained lawnmowers can be recycled at the landfill, a metal recycler, or a salvage yard.

Not unless it's part of your regular trash service. Bulky items left outside can be treated as illegal dumping. For current rules on large items, call State Center City Hall at 641-483-2559 before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in State Center starts at $85, and curbside or outdoor 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 in a small town like State Center depends on Loader coverage in Marshall County that day. Enter your address when booking to see real open times. Next-day slots are usually easier to get than same-day.

Not for curbside or outdoor pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes at booking. For items inside your home or garage, someone should be there, or you can leave entry instructions. You'll get a heads-up before the Loader arrives.

The Marshall County Landfill at 2313 Marshalltown Blvd in Marshalltown is the closest public option. It takes items like appliances and scrap metal, and has recycling for some materials. Fees and accepted items vary, so call ahead. Self-hauling is cheaper if you have a truck.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Whatever can't be reused or recycled goes to a proper disposal facility. Donation and recycling aren't guaranteed for every item.

Pick your items online, enter your State Center address, and choose a time window. You see the total price before you confirm. On pickup day, a Loader arrives, removes the items, and handles loading, so you don't have to lift anything.

The main difference is pricing. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and confirm the cost at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, and the total is locked in before booking. For a large cleanout, a full-truck hauler may be a good fit.
