The Problem

Plenty of ways to ditch junk, none quite fit

You search for options, call the township office, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. Weeks go by and the pile is still sitting exactly where you left it.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Township and hauler bulk programs can help, but they usually have to be scheduled ahead, often limit what counts as an acceptable item, and still expect you to drag everything to the curb yourself. That's a tall order for a heavy load or a tight timeline.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to stop by for an in-person estimate first, then price the job by how much of the truck it fills. You often won't know the final number until everything is loaded, and by then it's hard to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken electronics often get turned away. Even items in good shape still need to be loaded and dropped off, and whatever they refuse comes home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster needs a delivery date, space in the driveway, and sometimes a permit if it sits on the street. Then it stays there for days while neighbors watch you fill it by hand, all to clear one room's worth of stuff.

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.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Background-checked Loaders who handle the heavy, awkward part

Your Loader can work a dresser down a narrow townhome staircase or a treadmill through a tight basement doorway. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Lima after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the driveway or carried out from inside

Many Lima homes have their own driveway, so if a weathered patio set or a dead lawn mower is already sitting at the end of it, curbside is the quick fit. For a sleeper sofa stuck in an upstairs bedroom or an old chest freezer in a finished basement, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Lima, and every corner of Middletown Township

Anyone who has crawled along Baltimore Pike with a loveseat bungeed to the roof knows a dump run can swallow a Saturday. Your Loader carries it out, loads it up, and hauls it away while you stay put. Your Loaders genuinely like showing up for Lima neighbors, the kind who still wave from the driveway.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Where a couch, a dresser, or a broken treadmill ends up matters as much as getting it out of your Lima home. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so reuse and recycling happen when local options allow.

Local Disposal Rules

The Lima disposal rules most residents don't know

Electronics or recyclables set out the wrong way can be left behind uncollected. Here are the disposal rules for Lima, part of Middletown Township in Delaware County.

Rule 01

Pennsylvania keeps TVs and computers out of household trash

Under Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act, trash collectors cannot accept televisions, desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors, tablets, or e-readers. These devices have to go through a manufacturer take-back program or a dedicated electronics recycling collection instead.

Rule 02

Break cardboard down to 12 by 30 inches

Middletown Township's weekly street-by-street recycling collection accepts cardboard when it is broken down into 12-inch by 30-inch pieces. After a move or a garage cleanout, cutting boxes to that size keeps them eligible for pickup.

Rule 03

Middletown Township offers no municipal trash or bulk pickup

Lima is part of Middletown Township, which does not provide municipal trash removal and does not pick up bulk items. Residents handle oversized household items themselves, usually through the private trash service they contract with or another disposal option.

Rule 04

Pennsylvania landfills cannot take loads made mostly of leaves

Pennsylvania's Act 101 bars landfills from accepting truckloads made up mainly of leaf waste. Large piles raked up during the autumn leaf drop in southeastern Pennsylvania need to go to a composting or leaf recycling outlet rather than a trash container.

Rule 05

Township recycling skips plastics coded 3 and 6

Middletown Township's recycling program accepts plastic bottles and jars coded 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7. Containers marked 3 or 6 are not on that list, so check the number on the bottom before putting cleanout plastics in the bin.

Rule 06

Household hazardous waste goes to Delaware County collection days

Middletown Township directs residents to household hazardous waste collection days held by Delaware County at drop-off sites around the county. These are scheduled events, not an ongoing service, so chemicals cleared from garages and basements may need safe storage until the next date.

Not unless it fits your trash hauler's rules. Lima is in Middletown Township, and bulk piles left out without arranging it with your hauler can be treated as illegal dumping. Call the Township at 610-565-2700 to confirm what your collection covers.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Lima starts at $80 for a single item, 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, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often yes, when a Loader is available near Lima. Same-day and next-day slots depend on the schedule and your address. Enter your zip code during booking to see live availability. Availability can vary by day and time of booking.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items outside with any access notes and they can be collected. For items inside your home, someone should be there, or you can give access instructions when you book.

Household hazardous waste like paint, solvents, and chemicals should not go in regular trash. Delaware County holds four household hazardous waste collections a year, and residents can also use events in neighboring counties. Check the county schedule for dates.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on what local charities and recyclers accept. Items that can't be reused or recycled are taken to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes depend on item condition and acceptance.

Pick your items and enter your Lima address online, then choose a time slot. You see the total price before you confirm. On pickup day, the Loader hauls the items away from the spot you chose, whether that's inside, the driveway, or the curb.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Truckload haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total locked in before booking. For a large cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
