Junk has a way of piling up until it feels like a bigger job than it's worth. Book LoadUp, see your price upfront, and get a quick pickup in St. John.
You search online, call the city, wait on hold, request a few hauler quotes, and hear back from maybe one. Meanwhile the junk stays parked in the garage, and another weekend slips by.
Municipal bulk pickup can handle a stray item or two, but it usually runs on a set schedule with limits on what and how much goes out. You still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, and a full basement rarely fits the rules.
Many haulers want to come out and look before they quote, then price by how much of the truck you fill. That leaves you guessing about the final number until the job is underway, and sometimes waiting days for that first visit.
Charities need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, broken electronics, and worn mattresses often get turned away. Even the good stuff usually has to be dropped off by you, which means loading heavy pieces into your own car.
A roll-off container means booking delivery and pickup windows, possibly checking on permits, and giving up your driveway for days. Neighbors notice, the lawn can take a beating, and you still do all the lifting for what might be one room of stuff.

Anyone who has wrestled a sleeper sofa up basement stairs in a St. Louis July knows the humidity wins every argument. You don't have to fight it. Your Loaders do the lifting, carrying, and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for St. John neighbors who would rather spend the weekend doing anything else.
Bulky items rarely belong in one place once they leave the house, which is why where they end up matters in St. John. Your Loader sorts each job by condition, so reusable pieces and true trash take different paths.
Furniture, appliances, and sporting goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside during loading so they can be considered for reuse.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for donation, such as old electronics, metal frames, or broken appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load.
Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like soaked mattresses or broken-down sofas from a St. John basement, are handled responsibly. Your Loader hauls them away for proper disposal at an appropriate facility.
Leaves bagged with household trash or a fridge still holding refrigerant can be left behind at the curb. Here is what applies in Saint Johns and St. Louis County.
Whole tires cannot be landfilled in Missouri, and tires dumped illegally hold rainwater where mosquitoes breed during humid summers. Tire retailers must accept a used tire for each new one they sell, which covers most replacement situations.
Under Missouri's electronics recovery law, manufacturers must offer consumers a free recycling program for their own brand of desktop computers, notebook computers, and computer monitors. Televisions fall outside this law, so look for other recycling options for an old TV.
Missouri bans yard waste from landfills, and open burning rules for the St. Louis area rule out backyard leaf fires. Leaves, grass clippings, and branches downed by storms need to be set out separately for composting or taken to a yard waste site.
St. Louis County runs a household hazardous waste program where residents can drop off oil-based paint, solvents, and pesticides. Latex paint is not hazardous. You can dry it out with kitty litter or a paint hardener and then put it in regular trash.
Missouri bans major appliances from landfills, so refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners go to metal recyclers instead. Federal rules require the refrigerant to be properly recovered before disposal, and many scrap recyclers ask for documentation showing it was removed.
Missouri bans lead-acid batteries from landfills and requires stores that sell them to accept used ones from customers. Trading in an old battery at the counter is the simplest way to keep lead and acid out of the trash.
