The Problem

Getting junk out in Peoria takes more than it should

You search for options, call the city, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. One never calls back, another wants to stop by first. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the basement.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Peoria's bulk pickup can work well for a single item on your scheduled day, but it comes with limits on what qualifies and how much goes out. Plans change, so check current rules. And you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, then price it by how much of the truck you fill. You don't really know the total until the truck is loaded, and by then there's not much room to negotiate.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers have to be selective, so worn upholstery, stained mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. You load the car, make the trip, and may end up driving half of it back home with nowhere left to take it.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off makes sense for a gut renovation, not for clearing out one spare room. You may need to plan around delivery and pickup windows and street placement rules, and neighbors have to look at it all week. You're also still the one doing every bit of 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 who know Peoria's hills and old staircases

  • Local, vetted Loaders

Pickup Options

Curb-ready or carried out from where it sits

Choose curbside when your items are already at the curb or in your driveway, and your Loader lifts them into the truck from there. Choose full-service when things are still in a basement, an attic, or an upstairs rental unit near Bradley, and your Loaders carry everything down and out.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Peoria, and the whole Tri-County area

Peoria is a city of hills, and anyone who has carried a dresser up from a basement knows every staircase here feels longer on moving day. Skip the borrowed truck and the sore back. Your Loader does the lifting, the carrying, and the loading, and genuinely likes showing up for Peoria neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely leave a Peoria home the same way, so where each one ends up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition, aiming for donation or recycling when local options allow, and responsible disposal for the rest.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, housewares, and other items in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader carries them out and loads them separately so usable pieces have a chance at a second home.

  • 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 metal frames or old electronics, may be recycled where available. Rules vary by item, so your Loader sorts what local options can accept.

  • 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 furniture or broken fixtures, go to proper disposal in the Peoria area. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, so you never haul debris yourself.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Peoria disposal rules most residents don't know

Miss the 6 am set-out deadline or use the wrong bag, and your pile waits at the curb another week. These rules apply across Peoria and Peoria County.

Rule 01

Car parts left in the yard can trigger a city cleanup

Peoria City Code requires properties to stay free of litter and requires motor vehicle parts to be stored in an enclosed space. Once cited, owners have five days to correct it, or the city can hire a contractor and bill the owner.

Rule 02

Storm limbs need twine bundles and a seasonal window

Peoria collects grass, leaves, limbs, and brush only from April 6 to December 11 in 2026. Tie limbs with nonmetallic cord such as twine, keep bundles under five feet and 50 pounds, and skip compostable plastic bags. There is no curbside yard waste pickup outside that window.

Rule 03

Televisions are banned from Illinois landfills, so plan ahead

Televisions and specific electronics are banned from Illinois landfills. The Kuusakoski facility has closed, so the county runs appointment-only collections for flat and CRT TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, printers, and video game consoles. Not sure about an item? Email the county a photo first.

Rule 04

Bulky furniture and mattresses can go out every week

Many communities only hold occasional cleanup days, but Peoria offers unlimited bulky waste collection that is included in the annual bill. Furniture, mattresses, and building materials can go out weekly from 3 pm the day before until 6 am pickup day, three feet from carts.

Rule 05

County hazardous waste events turn away paint and propane

Peoria County holds household hazardous waste collections on scheduled dates, with three set for fall 2026. Latex and enamel paint, lithium-ion batteries, propane tanks, smoke detectors, and fire extinguishers are not accepted, so those need another disposal route.

Rule 06

The free weekly county load moved to a transfer station

The City/County Landfill #2 closed in April 2025, and the Free Load Program runs at the Peoria Transfer and Recycling Station. County residents get one household load per week at no cost with proof of a Peoria County address. Loads bigger than a pickup can hold are not accepted.

Not unless it fits your hauler's collection rules. Junk left out without a scheduled pickup can be treated as illegal dumping and cited. Check with the City of Peoria Public Works or your trash hauler for current bulk item rules before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Peoria starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability and your address, so enter your zip code during booking to see live times. Next-day and scheduled windows are usually easier to get, especially on weekdays.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave items outside with access notes and your Loader handles the rest. For items inside your home, someone should be present or you can give access instructions when booking.

Most curbside services limit oversized items, construction debris, and hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and batteries. Rules vary by hauler, so confirm with yours. Items outside your hauler's limits usually need a private pickup or a drop-off at a proper facility.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners will take.

Book online, choose your items and a time window, and see your total before confirming. On pickup day your Loader typically calls or texts ahead of arrival, removes the items, and takes care of loading. You pay the price you were quoted.

Mainly pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truckload volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking, which can suit small jobs. Large cleanouts may fit a truckload model better.
