The Problem

Clearing out a Metairie house takes more than good intentions

You read the parish trash pages, call a couple of haulers, and wait on quotes that never come back. One company wants to stop by first. Another weekend goes by, and the pile in the carport is still there.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Jefferson Parish bulk pickup programs help a lot, but they have limits on what they take and how much. You still have to drag everything to the street yourself, and a sagging box spring sitting out on a narrow Old Metairie block can wait longer than you'd like.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't give you a number until someone walks through your garage. Then the quote is based on a fraction of a truckload that's hard to picture, and what you pay can change once the crew sees what's actually there.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Resale shops want clean, working pieces they can sell. A recliner with a broken lever, a stained mattress, or a dining set that's missing chairs usually gets turned away. That leaves you hauling the rejects back home and looking for another place to take them.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container takes over your driveway for days, may need permission to sit on the street, and invites neighbors to toss in their own junk. You still have to carry every load down the stairs yourself. That's a lot of trouble for a single spare bedroom.

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.

Curbside, or outdoor, pickup suits items already waiting on your driveway, which many of Metairie's single-story ranch homes make easy to stage. Choose full-service when a sofa is stuck in a second-floor apartment or a back bedroom, and your Loaders carry it out for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Metairie, from Lake Pontchartrain to the Mississippi River

Hauling a sleeper sofa down the driveway in a Metairie July, with humidity soaking your shirt and an afternoon thunderstorm creeping onto the radar, is nobody's idea of a free Saturday. Your Loader handles the lifting, carrying and loading while you stay in the air conditioning. Showing up for your neighbors is what your Loaders like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Metairie, from renovation scraps to an old sleeper sofa, and where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring donation or recycling when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances and household goods in good, clean condition may be donated when possible and local options allow. Your Loader sets those items aside, though a donation receipt is not something to expect.

  • 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 have usable materials, like metal frames or old electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the general load when local options allow.

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

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Metairie disposal rules most residents don't know

Debris that breaks parish size limits or comes from a contractor's job is not eligible for curbside pickup. These rules apply to homes in Metairie and unincorporated Jefferson Parish.

Rule 01

Parish e-waste recycling includes hard drive data purging

Electronic waste dropped at Jefferson Parish drop-off sites is processed by CACRC in Baton Rouge, which meets National Institute of Standards and Technology requirements for purging information from computer hard drives. That matters when clearing out machines that hold personal records.

Rule 02

Live Christmas trees go toward coastal erosion projects

Each January, unincorporated Jefferson Parish collects live, unflocked Christmas trees curbside and at drop-off sites to help fight coastal erosion. Flocked, artificial, and painted trees do not qualify. Lights, garland, tinsel, ornaments, tree stands, and plastic bags must come off first.

Rule 03

Oversized furniture piles have a hard size ceiling

Bulky items set out for weekly collection cannot be longer than six feet or heavier than 400 pounds. A pile cannot exceed six cubic yards, which is roughly the size of a small automobile. Residents with parish garbage service can take bulky waste to parish trash drop-off sites for free.

Rule 04

Refrigerators and freezers cannot be taped or tied shut

Large appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, ranges, water heaters, and washers are collected weekly from residential units, with a limit of four per address per week. Refrigerators and freezers must be emptied of all food, and their doors cannot be taped or tied shut.

Rule 05

Cardboard recycling depends on Saturday drop-off events and weather

Corrugated cardboard, flat board, and paper board are accepted at the parish's Saturday morning recycling drop-off events in Metairie and Marrero, weather permitting. The parish cancels these events when bad weather threatens, so cleanouts during storm season may need flexible timing.

Rule 06

Renovation and contractor debris is excluded from bulk pickup

Waste generated by a contractor, including general contractors, landscapers, and commercial tree cutters, is not eligible for parish pickup. For homeowner projects, loose construction debris such as sheetrock, along with smaller pieces of concrete or shingles, must be placed in a container.

Only bulk items, and only for residential addresses. Jefferson Parish collects furniture, large appliances, tires, and yard debris once a week, and it must be neatly stacked or tied. Commercial properties can't put bulk items out for parish collection.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Metairie starts at $80, 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, with the exact total confirmed before booking.

Same-day slots are sometimes available depending on the schedule, and next-day is more common. Enter your Metairie address during booking to see live availability. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home. For in-home pickups, someone should be there or leave access notes.

Household hazardous waste like paint, chemicals, and gasoline is not part of bulk pickup. The Metairie drop-off site at 400 David Drive takes items like tires, motor oil, batteries, and e-waste. The parish also holds a hazardous waste event about twice a year.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance by local partners. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so nothing is guaranteed.

Pick your items and enter your Metairie address online, then choose a pickup window and see your total before you book. On pickup day a Loader gets the items out of your home, garage, or curb, loads them, and hauls them away.

If your items are curbside-friendly and you can wait for the weekly collection, the parish service is free and the better deal. Jefferson Parish collects up to four white goods per address each week. A paid service makes sense when you need it gone on your schedule or hauled from inside.

The main difference is pricing. 1-800-GOT-JUNK prices by single item or truck volume, with a free on-site estimate for two or more items. LoadUp prices per item online, with your total confirmed before booking, so there's no estimate visit.
