The Problem

Getting junk out of Aledo shouldn't take all season

You look up what the city collects, call a hauler or two, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile the garage stays full, and another month slips by with the junk right where it was.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules usually come with item limits, set collection days, and rules about what has to be dragged to the curb first. Appliances, renovation debris, and anything stuck in a basement often fall outside the program, and nobody carries it out for you.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the pile in person before quoting, then price by fractions of a truckload you can't really measure. You often don't know the final number until the truck is already loaded, and that leaves you with little room to push back.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift and charity outlets need items they can resell, so stained mattresses, worn recliners, and broken exercise gear often get turned away. Around Mercer County, drop-off options are limited too, which means a long drive with no promise anything gets accepted.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster can sit in your driveway for days, tear up the lawn, and may need a permit if it touches the street. It also leaves you doing all the lifting yourself, which is a lot of work for a single spare bedroom or a few old appliances.

Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Aledo, and every road across Mercer County

Harvest season puts combines and grain trucks on the back roads, and nobody wants to crawl behind one with a dresser in the truck bed. Your Loader handles the lifting, carrying, and loading, and leaves the space clear. Showing up for the folks here, and giving them their Saturday back, is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Where an item ends up matters when you're clearing a house or yard in Aledo. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, sending it toward donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Local Disposal Rules

The Aledo disposal rules most residents don't know

Dumping the wrong material at Aledo's yard waste site can lead to prosecution, and state bans keep electronics and tires out of landfills. Here's what applies in Aledo, Mercer County.

Rule 01

Refrigerators need refrigerant removed before Illinois landfill disposal

Illinois landfills may not accept white goods such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners unless refrigerant, mercury switches, and PCB-containing components have been removed. That is why a dead freezer cannot simply go out with the regular trash.

Rule 02

Treated lumber is banned at the South Lagoon yard site

Aledo runs a yard waste site at the South Lagoon for residents only. It takes grass clippings, leaves, tree limbs, and landscape waste. Treated lumber and garbage bags are not allowed, so leaves must be emptied loose. The city says violators will be prosecuted.

Rule 03

Aledo trash service changes companies on May 1, 2026

The City Council chose Quick's Dumpster & Disposal Service for trash and recycling starting May 1, 2026, and pickup days stay on Wednesday and Thursday. Carts must be out by 6 a.m. and three feet from any obstruction, including another cart.

Rule 04

Whole used tires are barred from Illinois landfills

Illinois law prohibits landfilling whole used tires, so they must go to a registered used tire collection site or processor. Tires stored outdoors collect rainwater and become mosquito breeding sites, a public health concern the state's used tire program was created to address.

Rule 05

TVs and computer monitors are banned from Illinois trash

Under Illinois's electronics recycling law, residents cannot put televisions, computer monitors, printers, and other covered electronics in household trash. Aledo has offered an E-Cycle drop-off at the Public Works Garage on the first and third Thursdays of each month.

Rule 06

Car batteries go back to the store under Illinois law

Illinois prohibits putting lead-acid batteries in household garbage, and stores that sell them must accept used ones for recycling. That covers an old car, truck, tractor, or mower battery found during a garage or machine shed cleanout.

Only within the city's bulk program. Aledo's trash contractor, Quick's Dumpster and Disposal Service, takes one bulk item at the curb with regular trash in the first week of each month. Extra bulk pickups cost a fee. Anything else left out risks being treated as dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Aledo starts at $80, and curbside pickup takes $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. Truckload haulers usually price differently.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability near Aledo, so enter your address at booking to see live options. Curbside pickups don't need you home, while in-home pickups need someone present or access instructions left in your booking notes.

The monthly bulk pickup covers non-hazardous large items that don't fit in the city-provided bin, limited to one per month. Hazardous materials aren't bulk items, and extra items cost a fee. Large cleanouts, like a full garage, usually need a private hauler.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, they try to donate furniture and household goods, recycle metal and electronics whenever possible, and take the rest to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local facilities accept.

Book online, choose your item and pickup spot, and see the price before you confirm. A Loader is assigned and arrives in your chosen window. They typically call or text ahead, load the items, and haul everything away, so you don't carry anything.

Mostly pricing and booking. Truckload haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK or Junk King often quote by how much space you fill, sometimes after an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.

For one item a month, the city's curbside bulk pickup is the cheaper choice. It also covers the city's semi-annual clean-up events. A paid service makes more sense when you have several items, need pickup from inside your home, or can't wait for the next collection.
