The Problem

Shelby has junk options, just not easy ones

You read the city's trash rules, call around for quotes, leave a voicemail or two that nobody returns, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile weeks pass, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can handle the odd large item, but they often run on set schedules, limit how much goes out, and may turn away appliances with refrigerant, electronics, or remodel debris. You still have to haul everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come see the job before they'll give you a number, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. That means you don't know the real cost until the crew is in your driveway.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers have to be choosy, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture usually get turned away. Even items they'd accept still need loading and dropping off, and whatever they decline comes back to your basement.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a whole-house gut job, not for clearing one basement or a rental unit. You're dealing with delivery windows, possible permits, a big bin taking up your driveway for days, and neighbors wondering when it leaves.

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.

Vetted Loaders who handle the heavy lifting with care

Your Loader works a heavy dresser up steep, narrow basement stairs in an older home, angling it past tight turns. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Shelby after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the curb or carried out from inside

Curbside fits when old shelving or scrap lumber is already in your driveway or just outside a detached garage. If items are still down in a basement, up a narrow staircase, or packed into a backyard outbuilding of a long-established Shelby home, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Shelby, and neighbors across Richland County

Older Shelby homes were built to last, which is great until you're staring down steep basement stairs, a packed detached garage, and a tight back door with something heavy to move. Skip the borrowed trailer and the dump run. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and LoadUp genuinely likes showing up for the neighbors here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Shelby garages, basements, and outbuildings, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, so reusable pieces get a chance at a second life when local options allow.

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, and no specific charity or paperwork is promised.

  • 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 have usable materials, like metal frames or certain appliances, may be recycled where available. Availability varies, so reuse is never guaranteed for every item.

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

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader loads them out of your Shelby home or shop, so you skip the dump run and the rental truck.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Shelby disposal rules most residents don't know

Burning, dumping, or misrouting the wrong item can lead to a violation notice or a rejected load, so here is how disposal works in Shelby and across Richland County.

Rule 01

Scrap tires carry a fee and state transport rules

The Richland County Solid Waste Authority takes scrap tires at its collection facility for a small fee. Ohio regulates scrap tires closely because piles trap rainwater that breeds mosquitoes and can fuel stubborn fires. Moving larger quantities requires a registered scrap tire transporter.

Rule 02

Flatten every cardboard box before the county drop-off

The county Recycling and Collection Facility in Mansfield accepts cardboard. The county's residential recycling guide says to flatten it three times in a row. If you're bringing moving boxes from a cleanout, break them down before the trip.

Rule 03

Burning remodeling scraps is off the table in Shelby

Ohio EPA open burning rules never allow burning garbage, asphalt shingles, or demolition debris, and the rules are strictest inside restricted areas such as city limits. Ohio sends construction and demolition debris to state licensed facilities built for that material.

Rule 04

Fluorescent bulbs and tubes have a dedicated county drop-off

Fluorescent bulbs and tubes contain small amounts of mercury, so the Richland County Solid Waste Authority accepts them at its Mansfield collection facility for a small fee. Garage shop lights and old basement fixtures often turn up during cleanouts.

Rule 05

Storm-downed limbs belong at the compost site, not the landfill

Ohio has banned landfills from accepting separated yard waste since the 1990s. That means branches broken by winter ice or spring wind should go to composting. The Richland County Solid Waste Authority runs a compost facility in Mansfield for this material.

Rule 06

Old electronics and cell phones have a county recycling outlet

Richland County residents can bring electronics to the county Recycling and Collection Facility, where a small fee may apply, and cell phones are accepted as a separate item. The facility is closed Sundays, Mondays, and federal holidays.

Only during the city's scheduled bulky item pick-up. The Shelby Solid Waste Division collects bulky items on your regular garbage day, and they must be at the curb before 7 a.m. Check the City of Shelby bulky waste page for current dates and accepted items.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Shelby starts at $75, and curbside or driveway 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. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload.

Same-day pickup is sometimes available, depending on the schedule in your area. Enter your address when booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions.

Municipal bulky pickups usually limit what they accept, and items like construction debris, hazardous materials, or oversized loads are often excluded. Check the City of Shelby Solid Waste Division's list first. A private hauler can be the better choice for items the city won't take.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Whenever possible, they take furniture and household goods to local donation partners and recyclable materials to recyclers, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility.

You book online, list what needs to go, and see your price before confirming. You pick a pickup window, and your Loader typically gives notice before arriving. They load everything, so you don't have to carry anything. Payment is handled after the job is done.

The main differences are pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truckload, often confirmed at the home. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is set before anyone arrives. For large cleanouts, a truckload price can be competitive.
