The Problem

Antioch has junk options, just not easy ones

You read the village website, call the hauler, request a few quotes, and hear back from maybe one. Another weekend comes and goes, and the pile in the garage is still sitting right where you left it.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Antioch's bulk pickup program can work for a single item set out on the right day. But it usually has to be scheduled ahead and comes with item limits. Some addresses outside the village follow different rules. And you still have to get everything out to the curb on your own.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many local haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number. Then the price is based on how much of the truck you fill, which is hard to guess ahead of time. You don't really know the final cost until the work is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities need things they can resell, so a stained couch or a worn-out appliance is often turned away. You may load up the car, drive it over, and still bring half of it back home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container is made for a full renovation, not one cluttered room. You have to set up delivery and pickup, may need a permit, and give up your driveway for days. Your neighbors watch it fill, and you still do all the lifting.

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.

Vetted Loaders for northern Lake County homes

Your Loader works a recliner up a steep, narrow basement staircase and out to the truck. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Antioch after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the driveway or carried out from inside

Choose curbside if the old fridge or brush pile is already on the driveway or beside a detached garage, and your Loaders will load it from there. Go with full-service when a dresser sits in an upstairs bedroom or out on a lakeside deck, since your Loaders carry it out from wherever it rests.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Antioch, out to the Chain O'Lakes

Up in the northern reaches of Lake County, every dump run means a long drive down Route 59 or Route 173 with a sagging truck bed. Your Loaders spare you that. They lift the old sofa, carry it out, and haul it off. Showing up for Antioch neighbors is the good part of the job.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to handle alone, so where they end up matters as much as getting them out. In Antioch, your Loaders sort each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may go to donation when local options allow. Your Loader sets these aside during loading, though acceptance depends on what nearby charities 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 not donatable, like scrap metal, old appliances, or broken fixtures, may be recycled where available. Illinois has rules for electronics, so some items need special handling.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or rotted furniture, are hauled by your Loader for responsible disposal at a permitted Lake County area facility, based on local rules.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Antioch disposal rules most residents don't know

Illinois law bans televisions and refrigerators from landfills, so they can't go out with regular trash. These are the local and state rules for cleanouts in Antioch, Lake County.

Rule 01

Drain mowers and snow blowers before spring clean-up week

Antioch's yearly spring bulk week takes lawn mowers, snow blowers and leaf blowers only if they have been drained. Old gasoline and gas tanks are not accepted. The program serves addresses inside Village limits, not Antioch Township or unincorporated Antioch.

Rule 02

Water heaters and furnaces count as appliances, not bulk items

Antioch's no-extra-cost weekly bulk pickup does not include white goods. That category goes beyond the kitchen to water heaters, water softeners, dehumidifiers and furnaces. Appliances can't go directly into a landfill, so each one needs a pickup scheduled in advance.

Rule 03

Fall leaves get their own vacuum program in November

The Village's Fall Leaf Vacuuming Program runs for the first four full weeks of November, with dates that vary by area and weather. Labeled yard waste bags or cans also go out on Thursdays, but only from April 1 through November 30.

Rule 04

Pianos fall outside Antioch's one-item weekly bulk allowance

Each week, Antioch collects one bulk item, such as furniture, boxes or crates, as long as one person can safely lift it. Anything that takes two or more people to lift, like a piano, counts as oversized and needs a separately scheduled special pickup.

Rule 05

Illinois keeps televisions and printers out of the trash

Illinois law bans electronics from landfills, including televisions, computers and monitors, printers, scanners, VCRs and video game consoles. Antioch's scheduled curbside e-waste collection takes one television per pickup, and it can't weigh more than 50 pounds, a limit older tube models often exceed.

Rule 06

Swing sets and metal posts are barred from clean-up week

The Village's spring clean-up guidelines turn away any type of metal post, pipe, swing set or antenna, as well as asbestos. An old backyard play set has to be disposed of some other way, not during the unlimited bulk week.

Only within the village's service rules. Antioch's Groot Industries service takes one non-appliance bulk item per week at no extra charge. Extra bulk items need a call to Groot to schedule in advance, so unscheduled piles at the curb risk being treated as dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Antioch starts at $80, 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 charge by truckload.

Same-day slots are sometimes available, but it depends on Loader schedules for your date and address. Enter your address during booking to see real-time openings. Next-day and scheduled options are usually easier to get, especially on weekends and in boating season.

Appliances and oversized or overweight items are excluded from the weekly bulk allowance. Groot treats anything needing two or more people to lift, such as a piano, as a special pickup that must be scheduled. Antioch also runs an annual bulk week, usually in spring, with the date announced by the village.

Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, furniture and household goods may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials to recyclers. Anything that can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes when booking. For items inside the home, someone should be there or you can leave clear access instructions. You'll get an arrival update before the Loader shows up.

The main differences are pricing and booking. Many traditional haulers price by truckload and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, and you see the total before booking. For big cleanouts, a truckload hauler can sometimes be the better fit.
