The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Westerville takes longer than it should

You check the city's website, call to ask what qualifies, request a few hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile the garage stays half full and another weekend slips by.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Westerville's bulk collection can handle plenty, but it runs on the city's schedule, not yours. Some items need special handling or aren't accepted at all, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself, which is tough with a basement full of furniture.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price it by fractions of a truckload you can't easily judge. The number you hear on the phone can shift once they arrive, leaving you guessing until the truck is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Local donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and older electronics often get turned away. Even good pieces need to reach the drop-off somehow, and the leftovers nobody wants still need somewhere to go.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off sounds simple until you're coordinating delivery windows, checking HOA rules, and watching it sit on your driveway for a week. For one room's worth of clutter, a giant metal box in a quiet subdivision is more hassle than the job calls for.

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 show up ready to lift

Your Loaders work a sleeper sofa up narrow basement stairs and around tight landings common in older homes. Each Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Westerville after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the old treadmill or broken patio set is already out on a wide driveway, which is common in the newer subdivisions, curbside is the simpler choice. For a chest freezer in the basement, a dresser upstairs in an older house, or a rental near Otterbein with no ground-level spot to set things down, choose full-service and your Loaders will bring everything out from inside.

Serving Westerville, from the I-270 Outerbelt to Hoover Reservoir

Anyone who has strapped a worn-out recliner to a hatchback and crept down Cleveland Avenue on a Saturday knows a dump run can swallow the whole weekend. Your Loaders gladly take the basement stairs, carry it out, and load up, because showing up for Westerville neighbors is the best part of their day.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Westerville garages and basements, and what happens after pickup matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces can go to donation and the rest to recycling or disposal when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and sports gear in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader carries these pieces out separately so they stay in usable shape.

  • 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, like scrap metal, old electronics, or broken appliances, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from general debris during loading.

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as soaked mattresses or broken-down sofas, go to a permitted disposal site. Your Loader handles the lifting, and disposal is the last option after other paths are considered.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Westerville disposal rules most residents don't know

Items set out incorrectly are left sitting at the curb after collection, so here is what Westerville and Franklin County require before your cleanout pile goes out.

Rule 01

Yard waste needs marked containers and no plastic liners

Loose yard material belongs in biodegradable bags or rigid containers clearly marked "Yard Waste," and those containers should not be lined with plastic bags. Yard waste runs on Mondays, a separate day from Tuesday trash. Spring and fall cleanups need their own Monday set-out.

Rule 02

Each trash bag or container is capped at 50 pounds

Westerville asks residents to keep each bag or container of household trash at or below 50 pounds, or to rent a trash cart. Dense cleanout loads like books, dishes, or damp garage clutter reach that limit quickly.

Rule 03

Refrigerators and air conditioners cannot go out with trash

By law, Westerville's curbside collection cannot take items containing EPA-monitored refrigerants, such as air conditioners and refrigerators. These have to go to outside vendors instead. Stoves, furniture, and most other large items can still go to the curb on trash day.

Rule 04

Tires and propane or helium tanks are refused curbside

Tires, propane tanks, and helium tanks are on Westerville's list of hazardous materials that curbside collection cannot take. Leftover grill cylinders and party balloon tanks from a garage cleanout need a separate disposal route outside regular trash.

Rule 05

Wrap mattresses and upholstered furniture in plastic first

Mattresses and upholstered items like couches should be wrapped in plastic before going to the curb in Westerville. They are collected as bulk on your regular trash service day, the same day carpet, furniture, appliances, and large toys go out.

Rule 06

Pool chemicals, paint, and batteries stay off the curb

Batteries, pool chemicals, paint, and unknown liquids are not collected curbside in Westerville, and hazardous items set out anyway are left behind. SWACO, the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio, lists locations for proper hazardous material disposal.

Some bulk items can go out with your regular Tuesday collection, but only items on the city's approved bulk list. Westerville Public Service can tell you how to prepare an item at (614) 901-6740. Anything not on the list needs another disposal route.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Westerville starts at $75. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off, and your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often, yes. Same-day and next-day pickups are offered in Westerville when schedules allow, and live availability appears when you enter your address while booking. For curbside jobs you usually don't need to be home. Indoor pickups need access arranged.

Household hazardous waste is the big one. Paint, solvents, pool chemicals, and similar items don't belong in curbside trash. Westerville holds free-to-low-cost collection days twice a year at 350 Park Meadow Rd, with fall 2026 set for Saturday, Oct. 3, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to licensed disposal sites. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners accept.

You book online or by phone, pick your items and a time window, and see your total before confirming. On pickup day your Loader arrives, removes the items, and hauls them away. Curbside pickups can be done without anyone home if access notes are left.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like Junk King and 1-800-GOT-JUNK generally price by truckload volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before the Loader arrives. For a big cleanout, a truckload quote may fit better.
