The Problem

Hammond has junk options, just not easy ones

You check the city's website, call to ask about bulk pickup, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. One calls back, another never does. Weeks later, the junk is still parked in the basement.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules work fine for a single worn chair. They get harder when you have a whole garage to clear, items the program won't take, or a pickup window that doesn't line up with your move-out date. And you still have to carry everything out yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number, and then it's priced by the fraction of a truckload. You won't really know what you're paying until the truck is in front of your house and it's awkward to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Resale shops need items they can actually sell, so stained upholstery, scuffed particleboard, and older electronics often get turned away. You might find a home for a few pieces, but you'll still have to figure out what to do with everything that didn't make the cut.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off is built for a full gut renovation, not for clearing out one spare bedroom. You'll be juggling delivery and pickup dates, maybe checking whether you need a permit, and getting looks from the neighbors while a steel bin sits out front for days.

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.

Loaders who show up ready for the heavy lifting

Narrow basement stairs in an older brick home mean your Loader walks a dryer up one careful step at a time. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Hammond after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it outside or leave the carrying to your Loader

If the old recliner is already sitting on your driveway or next to a detached garage, curbside pickup is the quicker fit. When it is still tucked in an upstairs bedroom of a story-and-a-half bungalow or behind a tight back-porch door, choose full-service and your Loaders carry it out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Hammond and the whole Calumet Region

Steering a borrowed truck loaded with an old dresser onto the Borman, semis on every side, is nobody's idea of a Saturday. Skip the dump run. Your Loader carries it out of the basement or garage, and we genuinely like showing up for Hammond neighbors, from Hessville to Robertsdale.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Hammond basements and garages, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition, so usable pieces can be donated and recycled when possible, and the rest is disposed of responsibly.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible. Your Loader sets those aside for local donation channels, where available, so usable items can find 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 still hold useful materials, like metal frames or electronics, may be recycled when local options allow. Your Loader separates them from the general load when possible.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as water-ruined furniture or broken-down mattresses, are taken to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading from start to finish.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Hammond disposal rules most residents don't know

Leaving loose junk in the alley or using non-city containers can get a Hammond household cited, so here is how disposal actually works in Hammond and Lake County.

Rule 01

Renovation scraps qualify in small amounts, dirt and stumps do not

Hammond's Streets Department collects a small amount of wood, along with plaster, shingles, and cement, from alleys and parkways, but only for homes with city garbage service. It does not take sand, dirt, sod, large tree stumps, or railroad ties.

Rule 02

Hazardous household leftovers have a seasonal county window

The Lake County Solid Waste Management District holds free household hazardous waste collection events every month from March through October, open only to Lake County residents. Hazardous items found during a winter cleanout have to wait for spring. Household batteries are accepted, but car batteries are not.

Rule 03

Eviction cleanouts fall outside city junk collection

Hammond's Streets Department does not pick up evictions. Tenants have 48 hours to remove their belongings, and landlords must have all materials removed within 72 hours, so a property turnover needs its own disposal plan from day one.

Rule 04

Green carts are for bagged kitchen garbage, not cleanout junk

City garbage carts may hold only kitchen garbage wrapped in plastic bags, and each cart must weigh under 50 pounds. The Sanitation Department will not collect garbage when roaches are present. Furniture and other bulky items go through Hammond's separate bulk item pickup request.

Rule 05

Old fridges, microwaves, and washers have county recycling drop-offs

Hammond's Streets Department picks up appliances from alleys and parkways. The Lake County Solid Waste Management District also keeps a list of appliance recycling drop-off locations for items like a fridge, microwave, or washer, so residents can recycle them instead of trashing them.

Rule 06

Fall leaves only go out in paper yard waste bags

Hammond collects yard waste only in 30 gallon biodegradable paper bags set at the curb the night before pickup. Each bag must weigh under 50 pounds and hold only leaves, grass, plants, or twigs, never dirt, sod, or plastic.

Not unless it's part of regular cart service. Hammond Sanitation empties city garbage carts, and bulky items generally need a special pickup arranged with the city's Street Department. Items left out with no arrangement can be treated as litter or dumping under city code.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Hammond 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, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often, yes, depending on Loader availability for your address. Enter your zip code during booking to see live same-day and next-day openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home pickups you can leave access instructions.

Household hazardous waste like pesticides, solvents, and propane tanks needs special handling. The Lake County Solid Waste Management District runs collection days, including one at Hammond Public Works, 601 Conkey St. Latex paint, asbestos, and vehicle batteries are not accepted there.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on what facilities accept. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and acceptance.

You book online, pick your items and a time window, and see the total before confirming. On pickup day your Loader calls ahead and arrives to carry out, load, and haul the items. You never have to move heavy pieces yourself.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like College HUNKS and 1-800-GOT-JUNK typically quote by truckload, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so your total is set before anyone arrives. For large cleanouts, a truckload quote can sometimes fit better.
