The Problem

Getting junk out of your foothill home shouldn't take all summer

You call the county, then the trash hauler, then a few junk outfits. One wants to come look first, another never calls back, and the old stuff is still in the garage weeks later.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Lake Wildwood is unincorporated, so there's no city-run bulk program. Any large-item pickup goes through the county's franchised hauler, and you usually have to schedule it ahead. Item limits are common, and you still have to drag everything out to the pickup spot yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a number, and then they charge by how much of the truck you fill. You won't know the real total until the load is on board, and by then it's too late to shop around.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained cushions, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Many also expect you to haul everything in yourself, which still leaves you with a carload of rejects to get rid of somewhere else.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container sits in your driveway for days, and you still have to lift and toss every piece into it. Your community association may have rules about where it can go and how long it stays, all for a job that might only fill a corner.

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 part

Your Loaders carry heavy pieces down steep deck stairs and across sloped, wooded lots with care. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Lake Wildwood after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

If an old patio set or bagged yard debris is already outside at the top of your driveway, curbside (outdoor) pickup keeps things simple. For a packed garage, a crowded storage area or a full home cleanout, choose full-service so your Loaders carry everything out from inside, and add any gate or access instructions when you book.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Lake Wildwood and the whole Highway 20 corridor to Grass Valley

Anyone who has tried to wedge an old recliner into a pickup and wind down a two-lane road lined with pines knows a dump run here eats the whole afternoon. Your Loader carries it out, loads the truck, and clears the stairs, because your neighbors here deserve a weekend on the deck instead.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely belong in one place after they leave your home, which is why where they end up matters as much as the haul itself. In Lake Wildwood, your Loader sorts each load by condition.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household items in good, clean condition may be donated when local options allow. Your Loader sets those pieces aside during loading, though donation depends on what is available and accepting items nearby.

  • 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 suited for donation may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates materials like metal or wood when possible, so usable components are kept out of the waste stream.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, such as broken furniture or waterlogged pieces, go to responsible disposal through approved local options. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, so you never have to haul anything yourself.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Lake Wildwood disposal rules most residents don't know

A load turned away at the gate or an Association violation notice can stall a cleanout. These rules apply in Lake Wildwood and across Nevada County.

Rule 01

State law caps how much hazardous waste you can haul

State law bars transporting more than 15 gallons or 125 pounds of hazardous materials at once, in spill and leak proof containers, ideally the originals. Paints, solvents, pesticides, and fluorescent tubes are accepted free at McCourtney Road, but medication is not.

Rule 02

Pine needles and leaves cannot go in a Lake Wildwood burn pile

The Lake Wildwood Association allows burning only dry, natural vegetation on permissive burn days. Burning leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, or cardboard is prohibited, as are burn barrels. Instead, the Association sets up an annual collection for these materials outside fire hazard season.

Rule 03

Your trash bill may include a free annual dump voucher

WM customers in Nevada County who are current on their bill can dispose of up to two cubic yards of solid waste free at McCourtney Road once a year by presenting a voucher. Mailed Bag and Tag stickers cover extra household trash at the curb.

Rule 04

Solar panels are turned away at the county transfer station

Nevada County states that solar panels are not accepted at the McCourtney Road Transfer Station, so panels removed during a reroof or upgrade need a separate destination. The county points residents to a recycling facility in neighboring Placer County.

Rule 05

Seasonal free green waste days come with strict size limits

Nevada County hosts seasonal free green waste days at McCourtney Road for residents showing ID with a county address. Material can be no longer than 4 feet or thicker than 18 inches, and stumps, Scotch broom, blackberry, poison oak, and treated wood are refused.

Rule 06

Mattresses and carpet are free to drop off at McCourtney Road

Nevada County lists mattress drop-off at the McCourtney Road Transfer Station as free, and the station now takes carpets at no charge as well. The county recycling guide notes that mattresses dropped there are recycled instead of thrown away.

Not unless it is part of your regular trash service. Lake Wildwood is a private gated community, so the association's rules and your hauler's policy decide what can sit outside. Items left out without approval can be treated as illegal dumping.

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

Sometimes. Availability depends on Loader schedules in the Penn Valley and Nevada County foothills area, so same-day slots are not guaranteed. Entering your address at booking shows the real openings for your location.

Not for outdoor pickups. Items can be left in a driveway or other accessible spot with notes. For indoor pickups, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions. Gated communities like Lake Wildwood may need gate codes or guest registration.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, batteries, and chemicals generally cannot go in household trash in California. Large or bulky items often are not covered by standard weekly service either. Check with your local hauler or Nevada County about drop-off options.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Whenever possible, they take items to local donation partners or recyclers, depending on acceptance. Anything that cannot be donated or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility.

You pick your items and enter your Lake Wildwood address online, then choose a time window and see your total before confirming. A Loader typically gives a heads-up before arriving, then removes the items and hauls them away.

The pricing model differs. Traditional haulers usually charge by truckload and may confirm the price on-site. LoadUp prices per item online and shows the total before booking. For a full garage cleanout, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
