The Problem

Getting junk out of a Monona house takes more than wishing

You check the city's pickup schedule, call around for a hauler, and wait on callbacks that never come. Meanwhile the old couch stays in the garage, and another weekend slips by with the job still waiting.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Small towns like this one often handle trash through a contracted hauler, and bulky pickups, if they're offered, usually come with limits. Items may need tags or a call ahead, appliances can be excluded, and you still have to haul everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

In rural Clayton County, a hauler may want to drive out and see the job before quoting it. Then the price depends on how much of the truck you fill, so you don't really know what you'll pay until the work is done.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to keep what they can resell, so stained mattresses, worn recliners, and broken appliances get turned away. Even items in good shape mean loading up and driving them to wherever donations are accepted.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off is built for a gut renovation, not a spare bedroom. You have to schedule delivery and pickup and find level ground it won't sink into. Then it sits in your driveway for days while you do all the lifting yourself.

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.

Pickup Options

Set out by the driveway or carried from inside

If the worn recliner is already sitting out by the driveway, curbside (outdoor) pickup is the simple fit. If it is still in an upstairs bedroom or a detached garage, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out, and mention a gravel or sloped driveway when you book.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Monona, from Highway 18 out across Clayton County

Monona is the Garden City and the highest point in Clayton County, so a truck bed full of junk rarely has an easy drive anywhere. Skip the heavy lifting. Your Loaders handle the loading, and they genuinely like showing up for neighbors who keep this place looking the part.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Old sofas, worn recliners, and dead appliances pile up fast in a farmhouse or garage, and where they end up matters. In Monona, your Loader sorts each item by condition when local options allow.

Donation Pickup

Clean, sturdy pieces like dressers, tables, or working household goods may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Nothing is guaranteed, and availability depends on what nearby outlets can accept.

  • 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 material, such as scrap metal or old appliances, may be kept out of the trash where recycling is available. Outlets nearby can be limited.

  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky pieces, like soaked mattresses or broken-down furniture from a Monona basement or shed, are taken to an appropriate disposal site, since not every item can be reused or recycled.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Monona disposal rules most residents don't know

Throwing out a banned item the wrong way can get a load turned away or bring a state violation. These Iowa rules apply to every cleanout in Monona and across Clayton County.

Rule 01

Storm limbs and leaves stay out of the garbage stream

Iowa has long limited yard waste at landfills to save space and steer organics toward composting. After summer thunderstorms or heavy snow snap branches around Clayton County, brush and leaves are generally kept separate from household trash rather than bagged with it.

Rule 02

Car batteries are banned from Iowa landfills and trash

Iowa law keeps lead-acid batteries out of landfills, and stores that sell them have to take used ones back. Northeast Iowa winters drain weak batteries fast, so a dead spare found in the garage goes back to a retailer, not into the trash cart.

Rule 03

Cans and bottles from a cleanout may still carry a deposit

Iowa's bottle bill puts a refundable deposit on most beer, soda, wine, and liquor containers. After a 2022 change, some grocery stores can decline returns, so redemption centers are often the more reliable place to cash in a basement full of empties.

Rule 04

Refrigerators and freezers need refrigerant removed before disposal

Iowa bans major appliances from landfills until a permitted appliance demanufacturer removes the refrigerants, mercury switches, and PCB capacitors. The rule covers an old chest freezer in the basement just as much as a kitchen refrigerator, air conditioner, or dehumidifier.

Rule 05

Latex paint can go in the trash once fully dried

The Iowa DNR does not treat latex paint as hazardous, so leftover cans can be dried solid with kitty litter or a paint hardener and then thrown out. Oil-based paint, stains, and solvents belong at a household hazardous materials collection center instead.

Rule 06

Old tires are kept out of Iowa landfills by law

Whole waste tires cannot be landfilled in Iowa, so they go through tire retailers or registered waste tire collection sites. Tires stacked behind a shed also hold rainwater and breed mosquitoes in humid Iowa summers, which is one reason the state regulates tire piles.

Don't assume you can. Monona is a small rural city, and curbside rules for bulky items vary by hauler and local ordinance. Call Monona City Hall to confirm what's allowed. Items left out without an arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Monona starts at $85 for a single item, and curbside or driveway pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

It depends on Loader availability in the Clayton County area, and rural zip codes can have fewer open slots than cities. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. Next-day or scheduled dates are often easier to get.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items out with access notes. For items inside your home, garage, or barn, someone should be there, or you can give access instructions at booking. You'll get a heads-up before the Loader arrives.

Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, fuel, and pesticides usually need a household hazardous waste program, not a standard junk pickup. Farm and rural properties often have these. Check with Clayton County's solid waste agency for current drop-off options.

Loaders try to donate usable items to local charities when acceptance allows, recycle materials like metal and electronics whenever possible, and avoid the landfill when options exist. Donation and recycling aren't guaranteed, since it depends on item condition and facility acceptance.

Choose your items online, enter your Monona address, and pick a time window. You see the price before you confirm. On pickup day, the Loader calls ahead, loads the items, and hauls them away. You don't need to haul anything to a transfer site.

The main difference is the pricing model. Truckload haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total locked in before booking. Large cleanouts may still suit a truckload hauler.
