The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Oakes takes more than a plan

You call around, leave a voicemail or two, and wait on haulers who never call back. You check what the city and county will actually take. Weeks pass, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

A small city doesn't always run a regular bulk pickup, and when there is one, it usually follows the city's schedule instead of yours. Appliances, electronics, and renovation debris often need special handling, and you still have to get everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Out here, a hauler may need to drive a long way just to look at your pile before giving you a number. Then you get a price based on a fraction of a truckload, and you don't find out what you actually owe until the truck is loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation spots around here are small, with limited hours and limited room. Anything stained, worn, or broken usually gets turned away, and you're the one who has to load it, drive it there, and bring back whatever they don't accept.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

Clearing one bedroom or a crowded shed rarely needs a steel bin parked in your driveway for a week. You'd still have to coordinate drop-off and pickup over rural roads, check the local rules, and do every bit of the lifting yourself.

Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

In a town this size, a bulky load usually means borrowing a trailer, finding a free Saturday, and driving farther than you planned. Nobody needs that. Your Loaders are glad to show up for the people of Oakes, do the lifting, and haul it off, so your weekend goes to something better than a recliner run.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and in a small city like Oakes the nearest drop-off option may be a real trip away. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so it goes to donation, recycling, or disposal.

  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Oakes disposal rules most residents don't know

A load that arrives mixed or carrying the wrong items can be turned away at the gate, so these rules for Oakes and Dickey County are worth checking first.

Rule 01

Freon appliances need a removal tag before landfill drop-off

Appliances with Freon are accepted at the Oakes landfill only after they have been certified and tagged to show the Freon was removed. Plan for that step before hauling out an old fridge or freezer, since an untagged unit does not meet the requirement.

Rule 02

Cardboard goes in metal dumpsters, broken down and nothing else

With city recycling gone, cardboard can still go into any of the metal cardboard dumpsters around Oakes. Remove packaging material and flatten boxes first. Household garbage is prohibited in these dumpsters, which are reserved for cardboard only.

Rule 03

Branches go to the burn pile, not the compost

The Oakes compost pile, open daily during daylight hours, takes only grass clippings, leaves, and garden waste. Tree branches, twigs, and wood belong in the separate burn pile inside the gate, a split worth knowing when spring cleanup turns up winter-broken limbs.

Rule 04

Old computers and televisions are refused at the Oakes landfill

The city landfill southwest of town does not accept computers or televisions, so those items need a different route. The City of Oakes publishes separate e-waste information for residents sorting electronics out of a cleanout before a landfill run.

Rule 05

Curbside recycling in Oakes ended in September 2025

As of September 16, 2025, the City of Oakes no longer offers residential recycling service. Households that used to set out recyclables now need another plan, while cardboard still has its own drop-off option around town.

Rule 06

Unsorted loads risk being turned away at the disposal site

Oakes requires every load to be separated before it enters the disposal site, or it may be turned away. The landfill also refuses household garbage and opens only on select Saturdays, so a mixed trailer can mean a wasted trip.

Not unless the city or your hauler has arranged it. I couldn't confirm a bulk curbside program for Oakes, so call Oakes City Hall before setting anything out. Items left on public property without permission can be treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Oakes starts at $85, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on charge, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day pickup is offered in some areas, but availability in Oakes depends on the schedule and crew coverage that day. Enter your address when booking to see the open time slots. Curbside pickups don't require anyone to be home if access notes are left.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, pesticides, and car batteries generally can't go in household trash or in a hauler's load. Large items may also have size or fee limits at the landfill. Ask your local solid waste provider about current rules.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle materials whenever options allow, and they try to avoid the landfill. What gets donated or recycled depends on item condition and what local facilities accept. Anything left over goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

Book online, choose in-home or curbside pickup, and pick a time window. You see the price before you confirm. On pickup day your Loaders arrive, load the items, and haul them away. Someone should be home for in-home pickups unless you leave access instructions.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truckload, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. Truckload pricing can suit very large cleanouts better.

It can be, if you have a truck or trailer, can lift the items safely, and live near a disposal site. You pay the disposal fees plus fuel and your own time. Fees vary by site, so check your local landfill's current rates. Hiring a hauler saves the lifting and the trip.
