The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Medina takes longer than it should

You search for options, call your trash hauler, request a few quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. A month later, the junk is still sitting in the garage or out by the shed.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Medina doesn't run its own city bulk pickup program. Trash service goes through private licensed haulers, so bulky pickups usually mean calling ahead, asking what they accept, and setting the item at the road. On a long driveway, getting it there is entirely on you.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before giving a price, which means booking a visit just to get a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck you fill, so you won't really know the total until loading is finished.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can resell, so stained, broken, or worn-out pieces often get turned away. Most won't pick up from a barn or basement either. Even when donation is possible, you're still stuck with everything they didn't want.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full remodel, but for a few bulky items it's a lot of hassle. You schedule drop-off and pickup, find a level spot that won't rut the lawn, and still carry and lift everything into it yourself.

Loaders who show up ready for the heavy part

When a workbench sits at the back of a pole barn, far from the driveway, your Loaders carry it out. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Medina after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Match the pickup to where your items sit now

If you have already moved everything to the end of a long driveway or onto the garage apron, curbside is the simpler choice. Choose full-service when items are still inside, like a sectional in the lower level of a newer subdivision home, and your Loaders will carry them out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Medina, from Highway 55 to Lake Independence

Medina's big lots are wonderful until the old sectional is in the back of the barn and the road is a long walk away. Hauling that yourself eats a whole weekend. Your Loaders do the lifting and carrying from wherever it sits, and they genuinely like showing up for the people who call this place home.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items from a Medina garage, barn or basement rarely have one obvious destination. Your Loader sorts by condition, and donation, recycling or disposal happens when local options allow, so less ends up in a landfill.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside during loading 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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not donatable may be recycled where available. Metal, wood and some appliances or electronics follow Minnesota and Hennepin County rules, so outcomes vary by item.

  • 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, like a ruined sofa or broken outbuilding debris, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, even from the back of a large lot.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Medina disposal rules most residents don't know

Putting state-banned items like TVs, appliances, or yard waste in the trash breaks Minnesota law, so these rules matter for any cleanout in Medina and Hennepin County.

Rule 01

Burning household trash is illegal anywhere in Minnesota

Minnesota bans burning household garbage everywhere in the state. That includes burn barrels, backyard fire pits, and indoor wood stoves, which some people use in winter. The smoke releases toxic pollutants close to the ground, where neighbors breathe it in.

Rule 02

Medina contracts one company for all residential trash service

The city contracts with Republic Services for garbage, recycling, and organics at every residential property. You set up removal of appliances and other large items directly with Republic, which also sets the rates for it. The city uses one company to reduce wear on its roads.

Rule 03

TVs and computer monitors are banned from household garbage

Minnesota law bars televisions and computer monitors from the trash because their screens and circuit boards can contain lead and other heavy metals. When you clean out a basement or home office, these devices need to go to an electronics recycler or a collection site.

Rule 04

Spoiled food from a fridge cleanout can skip the trash

Medina's Green Bag Organics program is open to single family residents at no extra fee because the cost is already part of garbage and recycling service. It accepts kitchen scraps, discarded leftovers, spoiled produce, paper towels, and paperboard take-out containers.

Rule 05

Leaves and brush must stay out of the metro trash

Minnesota bans yard waste from household garbage. In the seven-county metro area, which includes Hennepin County, yard waste set out for collection has to be in compostable bags or reusable containers, not plastic bags. This matters most during fall cleanups before the snow arrives.

Rule 06

Major appliances need hazardous parts removed before recycling

State law keeps major appliances like refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, and air conditioners out of the trash. Before the metal can be recycled, someone has to remove the refrigerants, mercury switches, and PCB capacitors these appliances may contain.

Generally no. Medina's city code bars depositing solid waste anywhere except a sanitary landfill or county-designated facility. It also requires a licensed hauler for removal. Regular trash goes through your hauler, and extra items usually need a separate arrangement.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Medina starts at $95, 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.

Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on Loader availability and schedule, and next-day is more common. Enter your Medina address during booking to see live times. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access notes.

Yes. Medina holds an annual Clean-Up Day on the last Saturday in April, 8 a.m. to noon, at the Public Works Facility, 600 Clydesdale Trail. It's for residents only and covers residential waste, and household garbage isn't accepted. It's a good free option if your timing fits.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating them to local charities when options allow. Recyclables like metal and cardboard go to recycling facilities depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to the appropriate disposal facility.

You choose your items online, get a price, and pick a time window, with the total locked in before anyone arrives. Your Loader typically calls or texts before arriving, then carries the items out and hauls them away. You don't need to move anything yourself.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and College HUNKS often price by truckload or volume, which can mean an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For large full-truck cleanouts, a truckload hauler may fit better.
