The Problem

Saint Paul has junk options. None fit every job.

You read up on the city's rules, call a few haulers, and wait for callbacks that never come. One quote is vague and another needs a site visit. Meanwhile, the garage is still full and another weekend is gone.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

You no longer have to schedule bulky item collection ahead of time. Just set items out at your regular spot by 6 a.m. on collection day. But it only covers homes with one to four units, caps how many pickups you get each year, and you still have to drag everything out yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they give you a number. Then they price by how much of the truck you fill. That share is eyeballed on the spot, so the price you planned around can change once loading starts.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift and donation shops check the condition of what you bring, and they should. A couch with torn cushions, a used mattress, or a bookcase with a broken shelf often gets turned away. Then you're hauling it back home with nowhere else to take it.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a gut renovation, not for one cluttered basement. Putting one on the street usually means checking permit rules, booking drop-off and pickup dates, and taking up a parking spot your neighbors will notice, especially when a winter snow emergency is called.

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.

Loaders you can trust on a century-old staircase

A dresser stuck on a narrow basement stairway in an older home is routine for your Loaders. Every one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Saint Paul after each job.

  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Already at the curb or still tucked inside

Curbside works well when your items already sit in the driveway or beside a detached garage off the alley, a common setup behind many older Saint Paul homes. Choose full-service when the load is still in a basement, an upper-floor duplex unit, or an apartment, and your Loaders will carry it out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Saint Paul, on both sides of I-94 and across Ramsey County

Anyone who has moved their car for a Saint Paul snow emergency knows street parking here is a negotiation, and a borrowed pickup full of old chairs only makes it harder. Your Loaders handle the carrying and the hauling, and they genuinely like showing up for the neighbors who keep this town so stubbornly, cheerfully itself.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Saint Paul basements and garages, and where they end up matters as much as getting them out. Your Loader sorts by condition, so donation or recycling happens when possible and disposal covers the rest.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and still usable may be donated when possible. Your Loader sets those aside where local donation options allow, though acceptance depends on condition and is never guaranteed.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items too worn for donation, like sagging frames, scrap metal, or broken fixtures, may be recycled where available. What can be diverted depends on the material and on what local recyclers currently accept.

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

Heavily Damaged

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Saint Paul disposal rules most residents don't know

An unlabeled, oversized, or banned item can stay at the curb or count as several pickups. These are the disposal rules that apply in Saint Paul and Ramsey County.

Rule 01

Remodeling debris and tires are shut out of city collection

Construction debris and tires are not accepted as bulky items in Saint Paul, and they cannot go in the garbage cart either. The city points residents to Ramsey County Building Materials Reuse for disposal options on these materials.

Rule 02

Drain that old snowblower before it goes to the curb

Saint Paul requires bulky items to be emptied of food and liquids before collection. Oil and gas must be drained from small engines, water heaters must be drained of water, and refrigerators must have all food removed.

Rule 03

Twelve free bulky pickups per garbage cart each year

Saint Paul homes in the coordinated collection program get 12 bulky item pickups per garbage cart per calendar year. Beyond that, each extra item costs $30 plus tax, and extra garbage bags cannot count as bulky items.

Rule 04

TVs and computers are illegal in either city cart

In Saint Paul it is illegal to put electronic waste such as TVs, computers, and cell phones in garbage or recycling carts, because many contain hazardous materials. Computers, televisions, and printers can go out through bulky item collection instead.

Rule 05

Leaves and brush stay out of the garbage by law

Minnesota law keeps yard waste out of mixed household trash, so leaves, grass clippings, and brush need a separate route. Ramsey County runs yard waste sites where county residents can drop these materials off.

Rule 06

Mattresses follow a separate, free recycling route

Saint Paul does not pick up mattresses, box springs, or metal bed frames with its regular bulky collection. Residents must schedule them through Second Chance Recycling, the pickup is free, and they do not count toward the annual bulky item total.

Only as a bulky item set out by your garbage cart. Residents in 1-4 unit homes get 12 bulky pickups per cart each year, and items go out by 6 a.m. on collection day. Junk set out beyond that, or at a non-participating property, can be treated as illegal dumping. The city line is 651-266-6101.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Saint Paul starts at $95, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $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. The city charges $30 plus tax per bulky item after your 12 free.

Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on the schedule and your address. Enter your zip code during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups, you usually don't need to be home. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions.

Construction debris and tires are not accepted as bulky items. Mattresses, box springs and metal bed frames go through Second Chance Recycling, which is free. Household hazardous waste, such as products labeled caution, warning, danger or poison, goes to the Ramsey County Environmental Center in Roseville.

Loaders aim to keep items out of the landfill whenever options allow. Usable pieces may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials are routed to recyclers, depending on acceptance. Anything that can't be donated or recycled goes to the appropriate disposal facility.

Book online, pick the items and a time window, and see your total before you confirm. Your Loader typically sends a heads-up before arriving, then removes the items from the curb, driveway or inside your home. Photos and access notes at booking help the pickup go smoothly.

The main difference is the pricing model. Many traditional haulers price by truck space and confirm the final number on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total locked in before booking. For a few items, per-item pricing is often simpler. For a full garage cleanout, a truckload quote may fit better.

For a few items, yes. The 12 free pickups per cart each year cost nothing, and it's worth using them first. A larger cleanout, items beyond the limit, rental properties outside the city program, or accepted-item exclusions are where a paid pickup is usually faster.
