Junk piles up fast and gets old quicker. Skip the hassle and let LoadUp clear it out of your corner of the Crescent City, with a real price shown before you book.
You search online, call the city, and leave messages with a few haulers. One quotes a vague range, another never calls back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting on the porch.
City bulk pickup programs can handle a lot, but they come with rules. Items usually have to be scheduled ahead, limited in number, and set out a certain way. Some things, like appliances with refrigerant or renovation debris, may not qualify. Check the current details with the city first.
A lot of haulers want to see your stuff in person before they give you a number, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. You often don't know the final price until everything is loaded and it's too late to say no.
Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so a sagging couch or a dresser swollen from a humid summer may get turned away. Most also won't pick up from upstairs. You end up with half a load donated and the rest still waiting.
A dumpster takes up your driveway or a spot on a narrow street for days, and it may need a permit to sit at the curb. Then you're still the one carrying every heavy piece out to it, for a job that only fills a room.

Your Loader works a dresser out along the narrow side-yard path of a shotgun double. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in New Orleans after each job.
Curbside works well when your items are already on the porch, by the street, or somewhere your Loaders can reach outdoors, and that matters on blocks where homes have no driveway. If you live in an upstairs apartment or a raised house with steep front steps, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry everything out from inside.

Anyone who has left a sofa on the porch through a New Orleans August knows how fast humidity turns it into a science project. Wrestling it down a narrow stairwell in that heat is no better. Your Loader handles the lifting, carrying, and loading, and everyone at LoadUp loves showing up for neighbors here.
Bulky items pile up fast in New Orleans, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces can go to donation, recycling, or disposal when local options allow.
Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader will set them aside for that path, but don't count on paperwork or a receipt.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or some appliances, may be recycled where available. What happens next depends on what local recycling options accept.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or moisture-ruined bulky items that can't be donated or recycled are taken for responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and the final destination depends on local options.
Setting a couch or appliance out too early can earn a fine, and these are the curbside rules that apply to cleanouts in New Orleans and Orleans Parish.
City guidance says residents should not keep more than 20 tires on residential property unless specifically permitted, citing Chapter 105 of the State Regulatory Code. Up to 4 tires can go out with a scheduled bulky waste pickup through 311.
Carpet qualifies for bulky waste collection only when it is rolled and tied and cut into lengths under 4 feet. Pulling up flooring before a renovation or after water damage means trimming it down before it reaches the curb.
Small businesses are not eligible for city bulky waste collection and must contract with private vendors. Hotels, bars, and restaurants are ineligible for city service entirely, and the French Quarter and Downtown Development District run under separate collection regulations.
New Orleans does not allow cardboard boxes to be used as waste containers. Cardboard must be broken down and placed in containers or bags, and those containers and bags cannot block the sidewalk, which matters after a move or big delivery.
Sofas, mattresses, furniture, and appliances are bulky waste that the city collects only after a 311 request. Setting them out more than 24 hours before the scheduled collection day can result in a fine, so early curb drops backfire.
The city's bulky waste list caps yard waste at 6 bags of leaves, weeds, grass, and hedge clippings, and tree branches at 6 bundles cut under 4 feet. Heavy pruning during a long growing season can quickly outpace those limits.

Hazardous materials such as paint, chemicals, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash. Construction debris and large bulk piles are often limited or excluded too. Confirm current limits with the city's sanitation department through 311.
Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating to local charities when they accept them. Recyclable materials go to recycling options when available. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to the appropriate disposal facility.
