The Problem

Salt Lake City has junk options, just not easy ones

You search the city's site, call about bulk pickup, ask a few haulers for quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Two weekends later, the junk is still parked in the garage or basement.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can help, but they run on a set schedule with limits on what qualifies. You request a spot, then drag everything to the curb yourself, which is tough from a basement or a steep Avenues lot.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the pile in person before quoting, then price by how much of the truck it fills. You often won't know the real total until the job is done and the truck is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and donation centers screen for condition, and stained, broken, or worn-out pieces get turned away. Most won't come down your stairs to get anything, so you're left to load, drive, and maybe bring half of it home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off sits for days, can tear up a driveway, and may need a permit if it lands on the street. On a tight Central City block, that's a lot of footprint and neighbor goodwill spent clearing a single room.

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 take the tough steps for you

Narrow basement stairs in an older brick bungalow are routine work for your Loaders, who are background-checked and rated by real locals in Salt Lake City after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders

Pickup Options

Set it at the driveway or leave it where it sits

Curbside, or outdoor, pickup fits when the item already sits on your driveway or at the street, though getting it down a steep hillside lot yourself is a lot to ask. With full-service, your Loaders bring it out from a basement, an upstairs apartment, or a detached garage off the alley, so you never have to move it.

Serving Salt Lake City, from the west side to the east bench

You can find 900 South and 1300 East without a map, but finding a free Saturday to wrestle a sectional into a borrowed truck and chase down a dump is another story. Your Loaders handle the lifting and the hauling away, and they genuinely like showing up for neighbors who'd rather spend the weekend elsewhere.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Salt Lake City homes turn out a steady mix of old sofas, worn mattresses, and cleanout leftovers, so where an item ends up matters. Your Loader sorts each piece by condition, with donation and recycling considered before disposal.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and when local options allow. Your Loader sets usable pieces aside, though no donation receipt is guaranteed.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not donatable may be recycled where available. Metal, appliances, and electronics depend on item condition and what local options accept at the time.

  • 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, like a collapsed sectional or a water-ruined mattress, are taken by your Loader for responsible disposal at an appropriate Salt Lake County area facility.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Salt Lake City disposal rules most residents don't know

Pouring chemicals into a storm drain can bring civil and criminal penalties, and smaller mistakes cost you time. Here is how disposal works in Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County.

Rule 01

Trees on city property are off limits for cleanup pruning

Salt Lake City says it is unlawful to alter, remove, or prune City-owned trees for disposal through Call 2 Haul, or at any time of year. Residents who want work done on a City-owned tree submit a request to Salt Lake City Urban Forestry instead.

Rule 02

Utah law requires every landfill load to be covered

If you haul your own load to the Salt Lake Valley Landfill, Utah Code 72-7-410 requires you to cover it securely. Tarps and tie-downs keep loose items like insulation, cardboard, and branches from blowing onto the road on the way there.

Rule 03

Refrigerator doors must come off or be strapped shut

When a refrigerator goes out for Call 2 Haul, Salt Lake City asks residents to remove the doors or tape or belt them shut first. The City removes the coolant and recycles the metal. The county landfill does not accept commercial walk-in units.

Rule 04

Brown compost carts take a winter break during inversion season

Salt Lake City stops compost cart collection for part of each winter to save fuel and cut emissions. In 2026 the pause runs from January 19 to March 2. Leaves and branches left in the cart will sit there until collection starts again.

Rule 05

Leftover paint and chemicals cannot go down storm drains

Salt Lake County Health Department warns that abandoning household hazardous waste or pouring it into gutters, storm drains, or waterways is illegal and may bring civil and criminal penalties. County collection centers take paint, pesticides, batteries, and electronics, but not ammunition or fireworks.

Rule 06

Call 2 Haul pickups are scheduled, not a curbside pile program

Salt Lake City Waste & Recycling customers get one scheduled bulky item pickup a year for things like furniture, mattresses, tires, and electronic waste, plus one green waste pickup. Up to 20 households can request a pickup together, but it counts toward each household's yearly pickups.

Not as a standing practice. Piles left outside your bins without a scheduled city cleanup or pickup can be treated as illegal dumping, and bulky items usually can't go in your regular garbage can. Check with Salt Lake City Public Services for current cleanup rules.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Salt Lake City starts at $90, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $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.

Often, depending on Loader availability in your area. Enter your zip code during booking to see the live time slots for your address. For curbside or driveway pickups you don't need to be home, and for indoor jobs someone should be there or you can leave access notes.

Hazardous items like paint, solvents, pesticides, batteries and chemicals generally can't go in household trash or a dumpster. Salt Lake County has household hazardous waste drop-off options, so check their current accepted-items list. Bulky furniture and appliances often need a separate pickup or landfill trip.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill whenever possible. Furniture and household goods in good shape may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials go to recyclers, depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

You choose your items and a time window online, and the price is shown before you confirm. Your Loader typically sends a heads-up before arriving, then carries the items out, loads them and takes them away. You don't have to haul anything to the curb yourself.

Mostly the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King generally price by truck volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online and shows the total before booking. For large cleanouts that fill a truck, a volume-based hauler can be a reasonable fit.
