The Problem

Clearing out a Mequon home takes more than one call

You search for options, call city hall, wait on hauler quotes, and hear back from maybe half of them. Weeks pass, and the junk still sits in the garage while you figure out who will actually take it.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can work well for a single item when your timing lines up. But they usually require a request ahead of time, have limits on what they accept, and expect you to drag everything to the road yourself, even down a long driveway.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come out for an estimate before they'll give you a number, then price by how much of the truck your stuff fills. You don't know the real cost until they're standing in your driveway, and by then it's hard to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and anything broken often get turned away. You still have to load and drive everything there yourself, and whatever they refuse comes home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full gut renovation, not a basement cleanout. You plan around delivery and pickup dates, may need to check placement rules, and live with a steel bin on your lawn or driveway while you 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.

Pickup Options

Set it by the driveway or leave it where it sits

If the old riding mower or brush pile is already staged at the end of your driveway, curbside is the simpler fit. For items still in a detached garage, a barn, or a lower level far from the road, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Mequon, on both sides of I-43

Mequon lots run big, driveways run long, and the nearest anything is rarely a short hop. Hauling an old swing set or a basement's worth of boxes means loading, driving, and unloading all alone. Your Loaders handle the lifting, carrying, and loading, and they like showing up for neighbors who take care of their places.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Large lots, finished basements, and long estate cleanouts mean Mequon jobs often include bulky items in every condition. Your Loader sorts each one by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal is chosen with care, when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, sporting goods, and household items in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and local options allow. Your Loader carries them out and loads them separately from items that are worn or damaged.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are damaged but not donatable, such as worn metal frames, old appliances, or electronics, may be recycled where available. Ozaukee County and Wisconsin options vary, so availability is never guaranteed.

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

Heavily Damaged

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Mequon disposal rules most residents don't know

Wisconsin bans many cleanout items from landfills, so banned items set out with regular trash can be refused. Here is how disposal works in Mequon, Ozaukee County.

Rule 01

Storm-downed limbs need the Brush Site, not the trash

State law keeps yard waste out of landfills, so household garbage service cannot take branches and brush. After a summer storm, Mequon residents can hire a landscape contractor or buy an annual key-card permit and haul material to the city Brush Site themselves.

Rule 02

Old tires usually cost extra to get rid of

Waste tires are banned from Wisconsin landfills. In Mequon, your licensed garbage contractor will pick them up for an additional fee, or a local scrap metal recycler may accept them, also for a fee, so plan for that before a garage purge.

Rule 03

Mequon has no city garbage service to fall back on

The City of Mequon does not collect refuse or recycling. Each household contracts privately with a city-licensed collection company, so what you can set out for extra or oversized items depends on the terms of your own service agreement.

Rule 04

Old TVs and computer monitors cannot go in the trash

Wisconsin's electronics recycling law bans televisions, computer monitors, desktop and laptop computers, printers, and cell phones from landfills and incinerators. Mequon's Department of Public Works offers an electronics recycling option for residents, so one old set does not have to stall a cleanout.

Rule 05

Used motor oil and filters have a city drop point

Wisconsin bans used oil and oil filters from landfills, including oil drained from mowers and snowblowers. Mequon residents can bring both to the City of Mequon Public Works Site, where a green Oil Recycling sign on the building marks the spot.

Rule 06

Refrigerators and freezers need refrigerant removed before recycling

Wisconsin bans major appliances from landfills, and refrigerants must be recovered by a certified technician before an appliance is scrapped. Mequon points residents to their licensed garbage contractor or a local scrap metal recycler when disposing of a used appliance.

Not unless your private hauler offers bulk pickup. Mequon doesn't run city-wide garbage collection, so residents contract with licensed haulers such as Ozaukee Disposal, (262) 377-4640. Ask your hauler what bulk items it takes and whether it charges extra.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Mequon starts at $90, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $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.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave items out with access notes. For garage, basement, or in-home pickups, someone should be there or you can give access instructions when booking. Availability depends on your address and the schedule.

Hazardous waste like paint, chemicals, and tires goes to the Ozaukee County Clean Sweep, usually held once a year in Cedarburg. The 2026 event is Saturday, May 2, 8 a.m. to noon, at $20 per vehicle, cash or check. It does not take electronics or appliances.

Mequon residents with a $20 yearly permit from City Hall can use the Brush and Yard Waste Site on Bonniwell Road. It is open roughly April through November, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. It accepts residential brush and yard waste only, not general junk.

Loaders try to donate or recycle usable items whenever options allow, and they avoid the landfill where they can. Acceptance depends on the condition of each item and on what local donation and recycling partners will take. Anything that can't be placed is disposed of at an appropriate facility.

You pick your items and enter your Mequon address online, then choose a pickup window. The total is shown and confirmed before you book. On pickup day, Loaders arrive, load the items, and haul them away. You don't need to estimate a truckload yourself.

The main difference is the pricing model. College HUNKS and similar haulers offer a free estimate and typically price by volume. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is confirmed before booking. For a large cleanout, a volume-based hauler may fit better.
