The Problem

Getting junk out of Malibu takes more than a call

You search for options, call the hauler listed on your trash bill, and leave messages with a few junk companies. Some quote, some never call back. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Your franchise trash hauler may offer bulky item collection, but you usually have to book it ahead, follow item limits, and set everything out at the street. That's a problem when your street is a steep canyon road or a long private driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number, and the drive along PCH can mean waiting days for that visit. Then the price depends on how much of the truck you fill, so you don't know the real cost until loading is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores turn away anything stained, broken, or worn out, and most won't take mattresses or large appliances. Even if they accept your usable furniture, you still have to load it, drive it there, and figure out what to do with everything they turned down.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster takes up your driveway or the shoulder of a narrow road for days. Placing one on a public street can require a permit, and on a hillside lot there may be no flat spot for it. For one room of clutter, that's far more than you need.

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.

  • Local, vetted Loaders

Pickup Options

Left out by the driveway or carried out from inside

Curbside works best when your items are already outside, such as at the foot of a long private driveway where your Loader can easily reach them. Choose full-service when furniture or remodel leftovers are still indoors, and your Loaders will carry them out from the room they are in.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Malibu, up and down Pacific Coast Highway

Malibu is stretched thin, and the canyon roads that climb away from the water turn a simple dump run into an afternoon of switchbacks, with a couch strapped down and your fingers crossed. Skip it. Your Loader carries the heavy stuff out and loads it up, and we genuinely enjoy showing up for neighbors here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items are hard to move alone, and in Malibu, where properties sit far apart, where you send them afterward matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, sporting goods, and household items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader can carry them out, though acceptance depends on what local donation channels are taking.

  • 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 made of recyclable materials, such as metal frames or electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them when local recycling options allow.

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or soiled bulky items, like broken furniture or stained mattresses, go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader hauls them away so nothing is left near Malibu's beaches or parkland.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Malibu disposal rules most residents don't know

Throwing out the wrong item can get your pickup refused, earn you a code violation, or send pollution into the ocean. Here is how disposal works in Malibu and Los Angeles County.

Rule 01

Malibu storm drains flow straight to the Pacific untreated

Leftover paint, motor oil, and junk piles that winter rain can wash into the gutter flow directly into the ocean. Liquids belong at a Los Angeles County household hazardous waste event, and PaintCare drop-off sites also take unused paint.

Rule 02

Hauling ten or more tires requires a state registration

To stop illegal dumping, CalRecycle requires anyone carrying ten or more used or waste tires at once to be a registered waste tire hauler. Malibu's citywide bulky item collection events have also refused tires.

Rule 03

Old deck and fence lumber counts as treated wood waste

Coastal weather and fire rebuilds mean lots of pressure-treated lumber leaves Malibu properties. Its preservatives contain toxic chemicals, so California regulates it separately. It cannot go in household trash or green waste and must go to a facility approved to accept it.

Rule 04

Batteries and electronics are banned from California household trash

Since 2006, state rules have treated batteries, fluorescent tubes, and electronic devices as universal waste because they contain mercury, lead, and other metals. Los Angeles County holds free household hazardous waste and e-waste collection events where residents can drop them off.

Rule 05

Brush clearance trimmings belong in the green waste cart

Much of Malibu lies in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where Los Angeles County Fire inspects properties for brush clearance. California's organics recycling law requires yard trimmings to be kept separate from trash, so cut vegetation goes in the green waste cart.

Rule 06

Refrigerators need refrigerant removed before they can be scrapped

California law requires refrigerants, mercury switches, and parts containing PCBs to be removed from major appliances before they are crushed or recycled. Malibu's bulky item events have taken refrigerators but refused items that need more than two people to lift safely.

Not outside your regular WM pickup. Malibu's trash hauler is WM, and it takes standard household trash, recycling and organics, but not construction waste, tires, electronics or hazardous waste. Violating city code is an infraction, with fines up to $100 for a first offense.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Malibu starts at $75, 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. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day slots are sometimes available, depending on the Loader schedule and your address. Enter your address when booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups, you usually don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access instructions.

Malibu's regular WM service doesn't take household hazardous waste or electronics. LA County Public Works and the Sanitation Districts hold free one-day drive-through collection events for these items at the Malibu Civic Center. Events run 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on set dates.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, they try to route furniture and household goods to local donation partners and recyclable materials to recycling facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility.

You book online, choose your items and a time window, and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day, Loaders arrive, load the items and haul them away. Steep driveways and hillside homes in Malibu are worth noting in your access instructions.

The pricing model differs. 1-800-GOT-JUNK prices single items individually, but for two or more items it prices by truck volume. LoadUp prices per item online, and the total is confirmed before booking. For full-house cleanouts, a volume-based hauler may suit you better.
