The Problem

Lodi has junk options. None of them carry it for you

You look up the city's pickup rules, call a few haulers, and wait on quotes that never come back. One wants to visit first, another stops answering. Weeks go by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Lodi's bulk pickup program can be a good deal if your items qualify and you can wait. You usually need to request a date ahead of time, stay within item limits, and drag everything to the curb yourself. Anything excluded, or too heavy to move alone, stays put.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Lots of haulers won't give you a firm number until someone comes out to look. After that, pricing based on how much of the truck you fill turns into guesswork, and the final bill can grow once loading starts. You agree to a price without really knowing what it is.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities need things they can resell, so stained upholstery, scuffed appliances, and broken electronics often get turned away. Even when they do accept something, you usually have to deliver it yourself, and whatever they reject comes home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off bin is built for remodels, not for clearing one spare room or a cluttered side yard. You have to book delivery and pickup, sometimes deal with placement rules, and live with a giant box on your driveway that neighbors will notice. You still do all the lifting.

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

Carrying a treadmill through an older home's narrow hallway or past a crowded garage workbench is routine for your Loaders, who are background-checked and rated by real locals in Lodi after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it at the curb or leave it where it sits

If the old dryer or bagged yard debris is already out on your driveway, curbside service keeps it quick. If a dresser is still upstairs in a two-story subdivision home or buried at the back of a packed garage, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Lodi, from Lodi Lake down to Harney Lane

Hauling a dead refrigerator or an old treadmill out of the garage is rough enough, and Lodi's triple-digit July afternoons make it worse. Nobody should be sweating through a dump run before the Delta breeze kicks in. Your Loaders do the lifting and loading, and they like showing up for this town.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Lodi garages and side yards, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each load by condition, so reusable items can be kept out of the landfill when local options allow.

Donation Pickup

Furniture, exercise equipment, and household goods in clean, usable shape may be donated where available. Your Loader can take them to a local donation channel. Don't expect paperwork or a receipt from the pickup.

  • 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 not fit for donation, like old appliances, electronics, or metal frames, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader sets these aside whenever local recycling options allow.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Lodi disposal rules most residents don't know

Putting the wrong items in a cart can get a household flagged for contamination and moved to a larger trash cart. These rules apply in Lodi, San Joaquin County.

Rule 01

Buying a new mattress can take care of the old one

California law requires mattress retailers to offer to take back a used mattress when they deliver a new one. The statewide Bye Bye Mattress program also runs drop-off sites where residents can recycle mattresses and box springs for free.

Rule 02

Palm fronds stay out of Lodi's green organics cart

Lodi's organics cart takes yard trimmings, food scraps, and food-soiled paper. The city's SB 1383 guidance specifically excludes palm leaves, along with rocks and dirt. That means a big palm trim or landscaping tear-out needs a separate way to get rid of it.

Rule 03

Overfilled carts can get your household moved to a bigger one

Lodi requires cart lids to close fully, and WM Smart Truck technology flags problems at the curb. If overfilling or contamination keeps happening, the city's program can upsize your trash cart, so it's best to keep overflow from a cleanout out of the weekly cart.

Rule 04

California bans TVs and computer monitors from household trash

California classifies electronic waste such as televisions and computer monitors as universal waste, and it can't go in household trash or any curbside cart. WM has held periodic e-waste drop-off events for Lodi residents alongside household hazardous waste collection days.

Rule 05

Old fence boards and deck lumber count as treated wood

Pressure-treated and chemically preserved wood from fences, decks, and posts can't go in Lodi's organics cart. California regulates treated wood waste separately because of the preservatives it contains, so it must go to a facility approved to accept it.

Rule 06

Moving boxes can only go out every other week in Lodi

Lodi picks up recycling every other week, alternating with organics. The blue cart takes only empty, dry bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard, and no plastic bags. Flattening boxes helps the lid close, which the city's set-out rules require.

Not unless it is part of a scheduled city pickup. Junk left on a street or sidewalk can be treated as illegal dumping under California law. For what your trash service covers, call the City of Lodi solid waste division at 209-333-6706.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Lodi starts at $75, 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.

Sometimes, depending on Loader availability in your area. Enter your address at booking to see the real openings for your date. For curbside pickups you usually don't need to be home, as long as the items are accessible.

Hazardous items such as paint, solvents, batteries, and chemicals don't belong in household bins in California. San Joaquin County runs hazardous waste disposal options for residents. Call the City of Lodi at 209-333-6706 to confirm what your service accepts.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, items may go to local donation partners, and recyclable materials are sorted for recycling whenever options allow. Anything that can't be reused or recycled is taken to the appropriate disposal facility.

Pick your items online, get an upfront price, and choose a pickup window. Loaders arrive, load everything, and haul it away. You see the total before you confirm, so there is no surprise charge once the work starts.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truck volume, often after an estimate. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking, which can suit smaller jobs. Full-truck cleanouts may be a better fit for a traditional hauler.
