When junk piles up, it stops being a small chore and starts weighing on you. Book a quick pickup, see your price before you commit, and get your Cahokia space back.
You search online, call the city, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague estimate, another never does. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.
Since the 2021 merger, bulk pickup questions go through Cahokia Heights, and municipal pickup schedules don't always match your timeline. Some items get turned away, and you still have to drag everything heavy out to the street yourself before the scheduled pickup day.
Many haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number, then price by how much of the truck they guess you'll fill. You often don't know the real cost until the job is half loaded.
Donation centers need things they can actually resell, so a stained mattress, a water-marked dresser, or a couch with a broken frame usually gets turned away. Then you're left hauling the rejects back home and starting over.
A rented dumpster can sit in your driveway for days, block the street, and may need a permit. It also leaves all the lifting to you. For a basement corner or one cluttered room, it's more hassle than the job calls for.

Carrying a heavy dresser up steep, narrow basement stairs in an older home takes patience and good footing. Your Loaders are background-checked professionals, rated by real locals in Cahokia after each job.
If your items are already sitting in the driveway or at the edge of a big yard, curbside is the simple choice. For a sleeper sofa wedged in a back bedroom or a chest freezer in the utility room of an older home, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out and load it for you.

Old houses on big river-bottom lots tend to collect things: the basement sofa that outlived two owners, the swing set nobody's touched since the kids grew up. Hauling it yourself means a borrowed truck and a dump line. Your Loaders would rather carry it out for you, because Cahokia neighbors have earned an easier weekend.
Cahokia homes often hold bulky items that outlast their use, from worn sofas to water-stained furniture. Where each piece ends up depends on its condition, and your Loader sorts that out as the truck is loaded.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean shape may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items apart while loading, though donation is never guaranteed and no paperwork is promised.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation may be recycled when possible, such as metal frames or scrap pieces. Availability varies, so recycling is never promised for every item.
Heavily damaged or soaked bulky pieces, like ruined mattresses or broken furniture, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader carries them out and loads them. LoadUp does not handle hazardous materials or chemicals.
A banned television or tire in the trash can mean a rejected pickup or a state violation. Here is how disposal works in Cahokia and St. Clair County.
Illinois treats refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and water heaters as white goods. They cannot be collected for landfill disposal until the refrigerant, mercury switches, and PCB-containing components are removed, because these parts can release ozone-depleting gases and toxic chemicals.
In 2021, Cahokia merged with Centreville and Alorton to form the City of Cahokia Heights. Trash service and nuisance ordinances for former Cahokia addresses now fall under Cahokia Heights, so older village guidance residents find online may be outdated.
Under the Illinois Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act, televisions, computer monitors, printers, scanners, and video game consoles cannot go to landfills. Manufacturers are required to fund recycling programs, so these items belong at registered electronics collection sites instead of curbside trash.
The St. Clair County Health Department holds household hazardous waste collection days, such as the May 2025 event at the St. Clair County Fairgrounds in Belleville. Keeping leftover household chemicals until the next event keeps them out of regular trash carts.
Illinois bans whole used tires from landfills and requires stored tires to be kept from collecting water. In humid Mississippi River bottomland summers, a tire left behind a garage can breed mosquitoes, so tire retailers and state collection events are the proper routes.
Illinois has banned landscape waste from landfills since 1990, which covers leaves, grass clippings, and brush. Fall cleanups need to keep yard debris separate from household trash so it can be composted rather than buried.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Cahokia starts at $80, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload.
Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on Loader availability in your area that day. Enter your address during booking to see live times for Cahokia. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home jobs you can leave access instructions.
Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, solvents, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash or bulk loads in Illinois. Because Cahokia sits on the Mississippi floodplain, flood-damaged debris can also be heavy and wet. Ask your local waste provider or St. Clair County about hazardous waste drop-off options.
Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so none of these are guaranteed.
You pick your items and a time window online and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader gets in touch before arriving, then removes and loads the items. For curbside jobs you only need to leave the items accessible.
The main differences are pricing model and booking flow. Many traditional haulers charge by truckload and may confirm the price at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a large cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
