The Problem

Getting rid of junk around here takes more than it should

You search online, call the county, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One sends a vague quote, another never calls back. A few weekends go by and the pile is still sitting there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Kent Acres is unincorporated, so Dover's bulk pickup schedule may not reach your street. Even when a municipal program does cover you, you usually have to request a slot ahead of time, some items get turned away, and you still have to get everything to the pickup point yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look at the job before they give you a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your load fills, which you won't know until they arrive. That leaves you with a guess, not a quote you can plan around.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be careful about what they accept, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned down. You still have to haul everything there yourself, and whatever they won't take comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster means booking drop-off and pickup dates, finding level ground that won't get torn up, and sometimes checking whether you need a permit. Then a big steel container sits out front for days while you do all the lifting, even if you only had one room to clear.

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.

Vetted Loaders who show up ready to lift

Your Loader works around a stuck shed door, a narrow back step, and tight hallway turns to get items out. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Kent Acres after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it out front or leave it where it sits

Curbside works well when a broken recliner or rusted grill is already sitting at the end of your driveway. Choose full-service when a washer or dresser is still inside so your Loaders can carry it out for you, which helps households near Dover Air Force Base that are on a tight relocation timeline.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Kent Acres, and neighbors all along the St. Jones River

Anyone in Delaware knows Route 1 turns into a parking lot once beach season hits, which makes a truck bed full of old furniture a rotten way to spend a Saturday. Your Loaders would rather do the lifting and loading themselves, and they genuinely enjoy showing up for the quiet, neighborly folks around here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in a quiet community like Kent Acres, and what happens after pickup matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse or recycling when local options allow before anything is disposed of.

Donation Pickup

Sofas, dressers, and other pieces in good, clean shape may be set aside for donation where available. Your Loader handles the lifting, and donation is a possibility that depends on local options, not a promise.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Local Disposal Rules

The Kent Acres disposal rules most residents don't know

Restricted, overweight, or overfilled items are left uncollected at the curb, so these are the specific rules that apply to Kent Acres households in Kent County.

Rule 01

Paint cans go in the trash only when fully dry

A can of dried paint can go into the garbage container with its lid removed, but cans holding wet paint cannot be collected. Oil-based paint is on Kent County's restricted list alongside gasoline, propane fuel tanks, pesticides, and pool chemicals.

Rule 02

Bulk furniture must be crushable and light enough to lift

Furniture, mattresses, appliances, grills, and lawn mowers can go out as bulk items only if they fit in the truck, can be lifted by hand, and can be crushed. Kent County takes up to four bulk items weekly at no additional fee.

Rule 03

Holiday string lights and hoses stay out of recycling

Kent County lists hoses and string lights as tanglers, which are not accepted in the blue and yellow recycling container. The same list excludes electronics, scrap metal, Styrofoam, plastic bags, and shredded paper, and window glass, dishes, and mirrors are also refused.

Rule 04

Tires and car batteries are restricted from curbside garbage

Kent County classifies tires, batteries, and motor parts as restricted automobile items that will not be collected at the curb, even as bulk items. Used motor oil and oil filters fall under the same restriction as hazardous materials.

Rule 05

Yard waste pickup pauses from mid-December until March

Kent County collects yard waste weekly from the third week of March through mid-December, and only in communities that voted for the service. Delaware Code prohibits mixing yard waste into garbage or recycling, so winter storm branches must wait or go elsewhere.

Rule 06

Old carpet must be cut, rolled, and tied first

Kent County requires carpet and padding to be cut to widths of four feet or less, rolled, and secured with rope, twine, or duct tape, then set beside the garbage container. Each roll counts as one of the four weekly bulk items.

Not unless it fits your regular trash service. Kent Acres is unincorporated, so trash and recycling are handled through Kent County Levy Court. Oversized junk left out without arrangements can count as illegal dumping, so check the county's pickup page first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Kent Acres starts at $80, 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.

Same-day slots are sometimes open in the Dover area, depending on crew availability. Next-day is more common. Enter your Kent Acres address during booking to see which times are open for your location.

Yes, if the waste came from Delaware. The Delaware Solid Waste Authority runs transfer stations that accept Delaware-generated waste only. You get weighed in and out, and disposal fees apply. Some restricted items may need special handling, so confirm with DSWA first.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Anything that can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Donation and recycling aren't guaranteed for every item.

You pick your items and a time window online, and the total is shown before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives, removes the items, and loads them. Curbside items don't need anyone home, and indoor pickups need access.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out and add access notes when you book. For pickups inside your home, someone should be there, or you can leave clear access instructions at booking.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers usually price by truckload and often confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total confirmed before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
