The Problem

Wayne gives you options, not an empty garage

You read the city's bulk rules, find the part that rules out your pile, then start calling haulers for quotes. One wants to stop by. Two never call back. Weeks pass and the junk is right where it was.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Requests go in days ahead of time, and the pickup lands on your regular trash day, not a day you pick. The item cap is low, so a full bedroom set takes weeks. Remodel debris and tires are out. You still get it to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Most haulers price by the truckload, which means someone has to come look at your pile before anyone gives you a number. That visit is its own appointment, scheduled around their day. Then the number moves again once the truck is loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift operations take what they can resell, and that bar sits higher than most people expect. A stain, a cracked frame, or a missing part ends it. Large-item pickup programs here also start and stop, so what was accepted last spring may not be now.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off ties up the driveway for days, and on the narrow older lots in town there is rarely a second spot for it. Putting one in the street means checking with the city first. You book delivery, load it alone, then wait on the pull.

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.

Pickup Options

Pick the service level that matches your setup

If everything is already sitting at the street or at the end of the driveway, curbside keeps it simple. Choose full service when the load is still inside a detached garage, a second-floor bedroom, or down a tight set of basement stairs, and your Loaders will bring it out.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving every part of Wayne, north and south of Michigan Avenue

Around here, plans get measured in freight trains. You sit at the downtown crossing with a borrowed trailer and watch another one roll through. Add a postwar basement with stairs built for smaller furniture, and it is no longer a Saturday project. Your Loaders like showing up for Wayne, trains and all.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Most of what comes out of a Wayne basement or detached garage still has some life left in it. Your Loaders sort as they load, so condition decides whether an item is donated, recycled, or disposed of.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Clean, working furniture and household goods can be set aside for local reuse. Your Loader will look for a donation option when something is in good shape and a nearby group is accepting it.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

What is too worn to donate still breaks down into parts: metal, wood, and electronics can often be separated for recycling where Wayne County area facilities accept them.

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

Responsible Disposal

Soaked, moldy, or broken-down bulk items take the last route. Your Loaders carry them out and on to a licensed transfer station or landfill serving the Wayne area, handled under Michigan rules.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Wayne disposal rules most residents don't know

Set the wrong item at the curb in Wayne and it can sit for weeks or draw a citation; these Wayne County rules apply.

Rule 01

Bulk pickups must be scheduled three business days ahead

Special bulk collection must be requested by 3 p.m. at least three business days before your regular trash day, with a limit of three items or eight bags. Requests made within 48 hours slide to the next week.

Rule 02

Freon appliances need a technician tag before curbside collection

Refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners must have refrigerant professionally recovered and be tagged to prove it before Wayne crews will take them, and doors have to come off. Federal law bars venting refrigerant into the air.

Rule 03

Construction debris and masonry stay off the curb

Wayne does not accept construction or demolition materials at the curb, and the city hauler will not take stone, brick, pavers or concrete at any volume. Those loads belong at a licensed disposal or recycling facility.

Rule 04

Michigan bans yard clippings from landfill disposal

State law keeps leaves, grass, brush and garden debris out of landfills to preserve capacity, so Wayne runs seasonal compost collection from late March into December. Residents may use their own cans or bags without a set limit.

Rule 05

County collections handle electronics, chemicals and old televisions

Wayne County hosts four household hazardous waste events each year that also accept computers, printers, monitors and TVs for recycling, plus a voucher program letting residents drop off at a contracted site. Proof of county residency is required.

Rule 06

Illegal dumping is a misdemeanor above three cubic feet

Michigan littering law treats dumping three cubic feet or more of waste as a misdemeanor carrying a penal fine up to $2,500 for a first offense, and courts can order the dumper to clean it up.

Only with a scheduled special pickup through Priority Waste, the city's hauler. Requests must be made by 3pm at least three business days before your regular trash day, and bulk items go out the night before on non-recycle days only. Call 586-228-1200 or schedule online at cityofwayne.com. The limit is 3 items or 8 bags.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Wayne starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickups take $5 off. The first item covers the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on, so your full total is confirmed upfront before you book. Priority Waste includes limited city bulk pickup, but it's capped at 3 items.

Yes, same-day pickup is open in many Wayne zip codes when you book before noon, and next-day is widely available across the area. Enter your address during booking to see live availability near neighborhoods like City Center, Avondale, or Van Born.

Priority Waste won't collect tires, concrete, bricks, car parts, construction debris, or tree stumps over 50 pounds. Appliances with freon need a technician's removal tag, and refrigerator doors must come off first. Paint, chemicals, and batteries go to Wayne County's free household hazardous waste events instead.

Loaders sort items when possible, aiming to donate usable furniture to local charities and route electronics and metal to recyclers whenever options allow. Wayne also runs a Recycling Center near the DPW office, open weekdays 7am to 3:30pm. Whatever can't be reused goes to the proper facility to avoid the landfill when possible.

You book online by listing your items and address, then choose curbside or in-home pickup. The price is locked before you confirm, so there's no in-person estimate. Your Loader calls roughly 30 minutes before arrival. For curbside jobs you don't need to be home, just leave the junk accessible with access notes.

It comes down to pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King charge by truckload and usually require an on-site estimate, so your price isn't set until the truck arrives. LoadUp prices per item online and locks the total before anyone shows up in Wayne.
