Junk has a way of piling up until it becomes the one chore nobody wants to touch. In Peosta, LoadUp keeps it simple: see your price upfront, book a pickup, and get your space back.
You search online, call around to find out who actually handles bulky pickup out here, request a couple of hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. Another weekend goes by, and the junk is still in the garage.
A municipal or hauler-run bulk pickup program can be a good deal if your items qualify. But these programs often limit what they take, require you to schedule ahead, and expect everything at the curb. Getting a heavy load out of a basement and down the driveway is still up to you.
Lots of haulers want to come out and look before they give you a number. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your load seems to fill, so you don't find out the real cost until they're standing in your driveway.
Donation centers do good work, but they have to be choosy. A stained couch, a dresser with a broken drawer, or an old appliance usually gets turned away. And even when they accept something, you're the one who has to load it and drive it over.
A dumpster makes sense for a big remodel. For one room of junk, it's a lot: you schedule the drop-off and pickup, give up part of your driveway for days, possibly check permit rules, and still carry everything out and toss it in yourself.

Your Loader might be wrestling a rusted chest freezer out of a gravel-floored outbuilding on rural acreage. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Peosta after each job.
In newer Peosta homes, moving-day leftovers often get staged on the driveway, which is exactly what curbside pickup is built for. If the sectional is still down in a finished basement or up in a bedroom, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from where it sits.

Peosta is a place where new construction sits beside open farmland, and everyone owns a pickup until the old sectional won't fit in it. Your Loader does the lifting, loading, and hauling away, whether it's in the garage or out in the shed. We like showing up for neighbors who are building something here.
Where a bulky item ends up matters as much as getting it out of your house, and Peosta's mix of new builds and rural outbuildings produces plenty of it. Your Loader sorts each item by condition when possible.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader checks condition during loading and uses local options where available, with no guarantee of a specific destination.
Items that are worn or damaged but still hold usable material, like metal frames or old fixtures, may be taken for recycling when local options allow. Your Loader separates them from the rest of the load.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items from Peosta homes and outbuildings go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader hauls them away so you don't have to arrange a dump run.
An uncovered trailer draws an added landfill fee, and Iowa does not allow appliances to be thrown away as trash. Here is what applies to Peosta households in Dubuque County.
Dead or tangled string lights don't have to go in the trash after a long Iowa winter. The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency runs a seasonal holiday lights collection. It also takes lights with other electronics year-round by scheduled drop-off.
Iowa requires appliances to be recycled, so an old appliance does not belong in the Thursday garbage can. The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency takes appliances for recycling at the landfill for $20 per appliance.
At the regional landfill, clean concrete and brick with no rebar count as rubble, a diverted material priced separately from regular landfill trash. To keep debris from an old patio or steps in that category, keep out rebar and mixed debris.
Peosta asks residents not to bag recycling, because everything has to fall freely out of the can when it is tipped. Set carts out by 6:00 AM Thursday, no more than two feet behind the curb, where collection crews can see them.
Dubuque County residents can bring oil based paints, stains, and varnishes, herbicides, and brake and transmission fluids to the Regional Collection Center by appointment only. Laundry detergents, soaps, cosmetics, and medications are not accepted there.
The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency has a tarped loads policy. Residential loads that arrive uncovered pay an untarped load fee on top of normal disposal charges. Tarping before you leave Peosta keeps debris off Highway 20 and avoids the extra charge.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. You can leave items out and add access notes when you book. For items inside a home, garage, or basement, someone should be there, or you can give clear access instructions ahead of time.
Most Peosta residents haul to the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency, which serves the county. Fees, hours, and accepted materials change, so confirm them first. Paint, chemicals, and other hazardous items usually have separate drop-off rules.
Loaders try to donate usable items to local charities and recycle materials like metal and cardboard whenever options allow. Anything that can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Acceptance varies by organization, so outcomes are not guaranteed.
Choose your items online, pick a time window, and see your price before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader gets in touch before arriving, loads the items, and takes them away. You don't need to haul anything to the curb unless you want the $5 discount.
