The Problem

Getting junk out of an Ottawa home takes more than it should

You search online, call the village office, leave messages with a couple of haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile the garage stays full and the weekend you set aside for it comes and goes.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

If your trash service or the village offers a bulk collection day, it can work for one or two pieces at the curb. Most programs limit what qualifies, skip appliances and renovation debris, and expect you to drag everything out yourself, on their schedule rather than yours.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Plenty of haulers want to drive out and look before they'll name a number, and that visit can take days to arrange in a rural area. Then you get pricing by the truckload fraction, with the final figure settled only once the truck is loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Local thrift and charity shops need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, broken frames, and worn-out appliances usually get turned away. You still have to load and drive whatever might qualify, then figure out what to do with everything they decline.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off sitting in your driveway for a week makes sense for a full gut job, not a spare bedroom or a corner of the barn. You still do all the lifting, work around delivery and pickup dates, and pay for space you may never fill.

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.

Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If you can roll it to the end of your driveway, curbside pickup keeps things simple. On larger lots where clutter fills a detached garage, shed, or basement, full-service lets your Loaders carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Ottawa, from the Blanchard River to the farm roads beyond

Anyone who has followed a slow tractor down a township road knows a dump run can swallow an afternoon, especially when planting or harvest already has everyone stretched thin. Skip the trip. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they like showing up for Ottawa neighbors who would rather spend the day on their own work.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big items are hard to move alone, and in a village like Ottawa the nearest outlet for them can be a drive away. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation or recycling happens when possible.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader handles the carrying, but please don't expect receipts or paperwork.

  • 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, such as metal or certain materials. Your Loader separates them during loading, though recycling options near Ottawa can be limited.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like soaked or broken furniture and mattresses, go to responsible disposal. Your Loader lifts and loads them out of Ottawa garages, sheds, and yards so you don't haul them yourself.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Ottawa disposal rules most residents don't know

If a cart is overfilled or set out the wrong way, it simply gets left at the curb. These Village of Ottawa and Putnam County rules decide what a cleanout can actually get rid of.

Rule 01

Brush and yard waste go to the village garage, not carts

Ottawa's collection rules ask residents to keep brush and yard waste out of their trash carts completely. Instead, these materials can be dropped off at the village garage, where they are shredded into mulch. That gives branches and garden cleanup a second use.

Rule 02

Each home gets one trash cart capped at 100 pounds

Each Ottawa household can set out one 96-gallon cart of normal household refuse. It cannot weigh more than 100 pounds, and the lid must close. Overfilled carts cannot be dumped. Any extra bags need a tag, sold at the village office or by Werlor, the village's contracted collector.

Rule 03

Burning cleanout trash is off the table under Ohio rules

Ohio EPA's open burning rules ban burning garbage anywhere in the state. Inside village limits like Ottawa's, burning household waste is restricted even further. Old furniture, mattresses, and other household junk need a legal disposal route instead of the burn barrel.

Rule 04

Mattresses, furniture, and appliances need a prepaid bulk pickup

Under the village's trash contract with Werlor, bulk items like mattresses, furniture, and appliances are handled separately from the weekly cart. Residents set up disposal with Werlor ahead of time and pay in advance. The items are then collected on the regular trash day.

Rule 05

Automated trucks need open space around every cart

Ottawa's trash route is automated. Carts must sit curbside with the lid opening facing the road and roughly 3 to 4 feet of clearance from mailboxes, trees, limbs, poles, and vehicles. Debris piled next to a cart can get in the way of that clearance.

Rule 06

Recycling runs on its own twice-monthly calendar

Recyclables go in a separate 60-gallon cart that is emptied only twice a month, on the same day as trash. Werlor publishes a Village of Ottawa recycling calendar by street, so recyclables from a big cleanout may have to wait for the right week.

Not unless it fits your regular trash service. Bulk items left out without an arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping under Ohio law. Check with the Village of Ottawa or your trash hauler about bulk rules before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Ottawa starts at $75 for a single item, and curbside pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee and each additional item is a flat add-on, with the exact total confirmed before booking.

Often yes. Same-day or next-day pickup is offered when you book before noon, though availability depends on your address and the schedule that day. Entering your address during booking shows what is open. Putnam County's rural layout can affect timing.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, batteries, and tires are generally not accepted in household trash in Ohio. Yard waste and large bulk items often have separate rules too. Ask your hauler or the Putnam County Solid Waste District which items they take.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to a licensed disposal site. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local facilities will take.

For curbside or driveway pickups, usually not, as long as the items are out and accessible. For items inside a home, garage, or basement, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions when you book.

LoadUp prices per item online, so your total is confirmed before booking. Many traditional haulers, such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK, price by truckload and may need an estimate on site. For a large cleanout, a truckload quote can be the better fit.

It can be, if you own a truck and have a few loads. Landfills and transfer stations charge by weight or load size, and you handle the lifting and travel. Paying for pickup makes more sense for heavy, bulky, or time-sensitive jobs.
