The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Rice takes more than it should

You look up the city's options, call the county about drop-off rules, ask a couple of haulers for quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weeks go by, and the pile in the garage hasn't moved.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules can help when the timing lines up, but they usually limit what goes out, how much, and when. Appliances, electronics, and renovation debris often need separate handling, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out for an in-person estimate before they quote anything, then price by how much of the truck you fill. You often don't know what you'll pay until the truck is loaded and it's too late to compare.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn furniture, and broken appliances often get turned away. You might haul a full load across town and drive half of it back home again.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means picking a size, booking a drop-off and pickup window, and maybe checking placement rules. Then it sits in your driveway for days while you do all the lifting, even if you're only clearing out a basement or spare room.

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.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Rice, and the whole Highway 10 corridor around it

Minnesota winters turn a garage into long-term storage, and by the first thaw nobody wants to dig through it, let alone make three runs in a pickup. Your Loader does the lifting, carrying, and loading instead. Your Rice neighbors have earned a spring spent outside, and your Loaders like showing up for that.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Most of what leaves a Rice home is bulky, mixed in condition, and awkward to sort alone. Your Loader handles the lifting, and what happens next depends on whether each item can be reused, recycled, or must be disposed of.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, sporting goods, and household items in clean, usable shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader can load them separately, but don't count on paperwork or tax documentation.

  • 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 still hold recyclable material, like scrap metal, exercise equipment, or some electronics, may be recycled where available. Options around Rice and the St. Cloud area vary.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items that can't be reused or recycled go to responsible disposal. Your Loader carries them out of your garage, basement, or shed and loads them for the trip.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Rice disposal rules most residents don't know

Putting banned items like appliances or old TVs in household trash breaks Minnesota law. Here is how disposal actually works for residents of Rice and Benton County.

Rule 01

Major appliances are banned from Minnesota household trash

State law keeps washers, dryers, refrigerators and other major appliances out of household garbage so refrigerants and metals can be recovered. Benton County holds Amnesty Days collection events twice a year that accept appliances, metal, tires and electronics from county residents.

Rule 02

Rice residents can use the city compost site for free

Minnesota bans yard waste from household trash, and the City of Rice compost site gives city residents a free place to take it. The site is open only Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Non-residents need an annual or daily permit.

Rule 03

Remodeling debris goes to demolition landfills, not household garbage

Benton County's recycling directory sends shingles, gypsum board, fiberglass insulation, siding, concrete and carpet/padding to permitted construction and demolition disposal sites. Asbestos has its own separate collection listing, which matters for older homes with suspect flooring or siding.

Rule 04

Old ammunition belongs at the household hazardous waste facility

Benton County's recycling directory sends ammunition to the Tri-County Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Waite Park. That facility also takes paint, solvents, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, fluorescent bulbs and ballasts. The county's collection events do not accept hazardous waste from businesses.

Rule 05

Burning household trash is illegal anywhere in Minnesota

Minnesota prohibits burning household garbage, including in burn barrels on rural lots, because the smoke releases toxic pollutants. Clean brush is treated differently, but the state requires a burning permit whenever the ground is not covered in snow, so spring cleanup burns need planning.

Rule 06

Tube TVs and CRT monitors are banned from Minnesota trash

Minnesota bans electronics containing cathode ray tubes from household garbage because they contain lead. Benton County's recycling directory lists Integrated Recycling Technologies in St. Cloud for electronics, computers and T.V. drop-off, and the county's Amnesty Days also collect electronics.

Not unless your hauler or the city has agreed to take it. Bulk items set out without an arranged pickup can count as illegal dumping under Minnesota law. Call Rice City Hall or your garbage hauler to confirm bulk item rules and fees before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Rice 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.

Sometimes, depending on Loader availability near Rice and St. Cloud that day. Enter your address during booking to see the open times for your location. Next-day and later slots are usually easier to get, especially on weekends.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes when you book. For items inside your home, garage, or shed, someone should be there, or you can leave clear access instructions. Your Loader gives notice before arriving.

Usually not hazardous materials. Paint, chemicals, fuel, and similar items generally need a household hazardous waste program, and Benton County residents should check with the county for current drop-off rules. Bulky furniture and appliances are typically fine, and you can list them at booking.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Whatever can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item and condition, so none of this is guaranteed.

Book online, choose your items and a time window, and see your total before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader arrives, confirms the items, and removes them. You can pay after the job, and there is no in-person estimate step.
