The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Sturgis takes more than it should

You search online, call the city, leave messages with a couple of haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague quote, another never does. Weeks later, the junk is still parked in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Municipal pickup schedules can help, but they usually have limits. Appliances with refrigerant, electronics, and remodeling debris are often turned away, and you may need to call ahead and haul everything to the curb yourself. That's a hard ask if you're dealing with a basement couch.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Lots of haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, and then they price it by how much of the truck you fill. You don't know the real cost until the truck shows up, and by then it's tough to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have good reason to be choosy. Stained mattresses, worn-out recliners, and broken dressers usually get turned down, and you still have to load and drive everything there. The things nobody wants are left sitting with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off is built for a full gut job, not one cluttered spare room. You'll have to arrange delivery and pickup, possibly check on permits, and watch it take over your driveway for days while the neighbors toss their own junk in.

Local Haulers

Vetted Loaders who show up ready to work

Your Loaders haul items up narrow basement stairs in older homes and out of detached garages packed to the rafters. Each is background-checked and rated by real locals in Sturgis after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left at the curb or carried out from inside

Curbside works well if you can roll an old washer or a brush pile to the end of your driveway, which is simple on a town lot but a real chore down a long rural drive. Choose full-service when things sit in a basement or a packed garage, and your Loaders will carry them out from wherever they are.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Sturgis, from Lazelle Street to the edge of the Black Hills

Sturgis knows traffic like few small towns do: one August week and downtown turns into a slow parade of chrome. Hauling a busted dresser through that, or making a long dump run any other week, is nobody's idea of fun. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading, and they genuinely like showing up for the people here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items are hard to move alone, and in a Meade County city like Sturgis, a dump run can eat a whole afternoon. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal happens when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Sofas, dressers, and working appliances in clean, usable shape may be set aside for donation where available. Your Loader handles the lifting, and acceptance depends on what local organizations will take at the time.

  • 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 hold recyclable materials, like scrap metal frames or old electronics, may be taken to recycling when possible. Options in a small city 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 mattresses, soaked carpet, and broken furniture that can't be donated or recycled are loaded by your Loader and taken to an appropriate disposal site, with Sturgis-area facility rules guiding where.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Sturgis disposal rules most residents don't know

Bring the wrong item to the city Rubble Site and it gets refused, which means another trip. These are the rules that apply in Sturgis, Meade County.

Rule 01

Branches and leaves go free year-round with a utility account

Sturgis residents can drop yard waste, branches, and Christmas trees at the Rubble Site at no charge any time of year by showing proof of a city utility account. A separate Yard Waste and Recycling Collection area near Exit 32 is also free for residents.

Rule 02

Refrigerators and freezers need Freon drained plus an EPA form

The Sturgis Rubble Site will not accept a refrigerator or freezer until the Freon has been removed. An EPA form confirming removal must be attached, and washers, dryers, stoves, and water heaters also require the form, available at the Public Works Office.

Rule 03

Everyday household trash goes to Belle Fourche, not the Rubble Site

The Sturgis Rubble Site is a restricted-use site and cannot take municipal solid waste. Bagged household garbage from city homes is taken to the Belle Fourche landfill, so mixed cleanout loads need trash sorted from rubble first.

Rule 04

Mattresses are left out of the City-Wide Clean-Up collection

The City-Wide Clean-Up lets residents set furniture, appliances, and untreated lumber curbside on regular trash day, but mattresses and tires are excluded. Both can be taken to the Rubble Site year-round, where each mattress carries a $15 charge.

Rule 05

Pressure-treated lumber is refused as a likely hazardous waste

Green treated wood made with copper chromium arsenate and brown treated wood made with pentachlorophenol usually qualify as small quantity hazardous waste, so the Rubble Site turns them away. Even City-Wide Clean-Up only collects untreated lumber, making deck teardowns trickier than expected.

Rule 06

Old CRT TVs and computer monitors stay out of the Rubble Site

Because the city site operates under a state restricted-use permit, cathode ray tube (CRT) TVs, computer monitors, and computer hardware are not accepted there. Planning ahead matters, since these items cannot simply ride along with a load of other rubble.

Only through the city's scheduled curbside pickup. Sturgis Public Works picks up residential loads on request for a standard $25 fee, up to a pickup truck load, at (605) 347-3916. The city also says garbage can't pile up beyond one week.

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

Same-day pickup is sometimes available, depending on the schedule in your area. Enter your address when booking to see live availability. Rally week in August is the busiest time, so booking early is the safer plan.

City curbside pickup covers furniture, mattresses and box springs, and appliances without freon. Appliances with refrigerant need special handling. Branches and yard waste can go to the city Rubble Site free with a utility bill stub, within a pickup truck load.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can whenever options allow. Local groups such as Love INC of the Black Hills accept furniture and household goods, though acceptance varies. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of properly.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups, since items can be left out with access notes. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions when booking. Your Loader will contact you before arriving.

You pick your items and a time window online, and see your price before confirming. On pickup day, Loaders arrive, load the items, and haul them away. Labor, transportation, and disposal are included in the quoted price.

The main differences are pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a large cleanout, truckload pricing can sometimes fit better.
