When junk piles up, it has a way of taking over your weekend. Book LoadUp for a quick pickup and a clear price up front, and get Bloomington back to the Bloomington you like.
You search online, call your trash hauler, and get vague answers about what qualifies. A couple of junk companies quote you, one never calls back, and weeks later the pile is still sitting in the garage.
City bulk pickup programs and municipal pickup schedules can help, but they often need advance requests, may cap what goes out, and can turn down certain appliances or electronics. You still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, on their timeline.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before they quote it, then price by fractions of a truckload you can't really judge. Without a clear number up front, you won't know the real cost until the truck is already loaded.
Thrift stores and charities can only accept items they're able to resell, so a stained couch, a scuffed dresser, or an older appliance may get turned away. Then you're stuck with whatever's left, plus getting the good stuff there yourself.
A roll-off is built for full remodels, not a basement corner. You may need a permit if it sits on the street, it ties up the driveway for days, and neighbors tend to notice. You also still do all the heavy lifting.

No in-person charges
Most companies charge by truck space, and the price often changes on arrival. LoadUp charges by item, based on exactly what you're removing.

Your Loaders carefully work a sleeper sofa up tight split-level basement stairs and around the landing turn. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Bloomington after each job.
If the old grill or dresser is already out on your driveway or next to the garage door, curbside is the simple fit. For a sectional in a rambler basement or a mattress on an upper floor of an apartment building, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from inside.

Plenty of Bloomington garages tell the same story: the car gave up its spot in October, and the pile of old chairs, boxes, and a dead treadmill grew through the first real cold snap. Nobody wants to wrestle that out in January wind. Your Loaders do the lifting, and they genuinely like showing up for neighbors here.
Bulky items rarely fit a standard trash day, so where they end up matters as much as getting them out. For Bloomington homes, Loaders sort each pickup by condition, aiming for donation or recycling when possible.
Furniture, household goods, and working items in clean, good condition may go to donation when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets these aside during loading, though acceptance depends on each organization.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for reuse, such as metal frames, old appliances, or electronics, may be recycled where available. Local drop-off options and rules vary, so outcomes are not guaranteed.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like a waterlogged sectional from a flooded basement, are taken to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, so you never haul it yourself.
If you set out an item that isn't accepted or miss your pickup window, getting rid of it becomes your job. These rules apply in Bloomington and Hennepin County.
Bloomington's regular garbage service will not pick up building materials, dirt or soil. Some reusable materials can go out through the monthly Better Futures pickup instead, with quantity limits. These include lumber, plywood, bricks, fencing, toilets, cabinets, doors, windows, light fixtures and sinks.
Bloomington treats a holiday tree as a large item, picked up through an on-call bulky pickup you schedule with Utility Billing. The City's garbage and recycling calendar also marks a window when Christmas trees are picked up for a reduced fee, so timing matters.
The Better Futures monthly pickup will not take TVs, computers, printers, stereos or cell phones. You can use a paid on-call electronics pickup, priced by weight and whether the item has a screen. The City's annual fall drop-off event and Hennepin County's year-round facility also take electronics.
Bloomington runs citywide garbage collection. Households that opt out can't use yard waste service, bulky material collection or Curbside Cleanup. Sharing a neighbor's garbage service is not an approved alternative, so every household needs its own way to dispose of waste.
Powered lawn and snow equipment, including snow blowers and lawn mowers, qualifies for Bloomington's monthly reuse and recycling pickup only with fluids removed. Everything collected is reused or recycled rather than sent to a landfill, and tools must also be clean to be accepted.
Bloomington's citywide Curbside Cleanup runs every other year, and the next one is scheduled for 2028. Small items like clothing, bedding, broken toys and garden hoses are refused. Garbage collected that day goes to a landfill, so small items belong in the regular cart.

(678) 884-4738Yes, for residents with city garbage service. Better Futures runs a monthly Bulky Reuse & Recycling Pickup for items like furniture, appliances and scrap metal. You schedule ahead, set items out by 7 a.m. on your regular day, and each item must weigh under 100 pounds.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Bloomington starts at $95, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.
Same-day slots are sometimes available depending on your address and crew schedules. Enter your Bloomington zip code during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home pickups you can leave access instructions.
Hennepin County's South Hennepin Recycling and Problem Waste Drop-off Center at 1400 W 96th St. in Bloomington takes things like electronics, appliances and household hazardous waste. Fees apply for some items, such as gas-powered appliances, so check current rates and bring proof of residency.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at local charities and recycling facilities. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition.
You pick your items and a time window online, and the price is confirmed before you book. Your Loader calls ahead before arriving, then removes the items from inside or from the curb. There's no in-person estimate step, so the quoted price is what you pay.
The main differences are the pricing model and the booking flow. Traditional haulers like College HUNKS and 1-800-GOT-JUNK generally price by truck space or by the hour with an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see a locked total before booking.
For eligible households with a few items, the city program is often the cheaper route. It has monthly limits and a scheduled pickup week, and it covers only residents with city service. A hauler makes more sense for bigger cleanouts, tighter timelines, or items the program doesn't accept.
