The Problem

Riva has junk options, just not easy ones

You look up the county's rules, leave a voicemail or two, and request hauler quotes that never come back. A week goes by, then a month, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

County bulk collection works well for a single item that fits its rules. Most requests have to be scheduled ahead, some materials aren't accepted, and you still have to get everything out to the road yourself, which is a long haul on a wooded Riva lot.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the pile in person before they'll give you a number, and then they quote it as a fraction of a truckload. The price can change once the crew is on site, so you won't know the real cost until they're already in your driveway.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and anything with broken parts often gets turned away. Even when they will take something, you usually have to load it up and drive it there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means booking a delivery and pickup window and finding a flat spot that won't damage your lawn or driveway. It sits out where your neighbors can see it for days, and you still do all the lifting for what might be one room of stuff.

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.

Vetted Loaders who treat your property with care

Your Loaders carry bulky pieces out of a detached shed at the far end of a sloped backyard. They're background-checked and rated by real locals in Riva after every job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Leave it out front or have it carried out

Curbside, or outdoor, service is a good fit if you've already moved items to the end of your long driveway where your Loaders can reach them easily. If a sectional or an old freezer is still sitting in your basement or upstairs, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out of the house.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Riva, from Riva Road out to the South River

Riva runs on quiet roads and long, tree-covered driveways, which makes a hauling trip feel like a project of its own. Your Loader does the lifting and carrying, from the back of a detached garage to the truck, while you keep your weekend. LoadUp and your Loaders genuinely enjoy showing up for this community.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Big, bulky items rarely belong in one place once they leave your property, and Riva homeowners deserve to know what happens next. Your Loader sorts by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits each item when local options allow.

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and still usable may go to donation when possible. Availability depends on what local organizations are accepting, so no specific outcome is promised for any item.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky pieces that can't be donated or recycled are taken for disposal through county-area facilities. Your Loader handles the loading, and hazardous materials are not part of the job.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Riva disposal rules most residents don't know

Set out the wrong item or the wrong container and it stays at the curb, so here is how disposal works for Riva homes in Anne Arundel County.

Rule 01

Storm-downed branches need trimming before curbside yard waste pickup

Storm-fallen limbs can go out in unlimited amounts on County-provided collection, but branches must be under 4 feet long and 4 inches or less in diameter, bundled with twine, not wire, at 40 pounds or less. Leaves blown into storm drains pollute waterways.

Rule 02

The landfill's electronics recycling turns away TVs and monitors

Residents can drop off electronics at any County Recycling Center at no charge. The Millersville Landfill's electronics recycling, however, takes items like computer printers, cables, and DVD players but excludes TVs and computer monitors.

Rule 03

Only three bulky trash items go out each week

Mattresses, box springs, sofas, and dressers can sit beside your trash containers on collection day, but the County limits set-outs to three items per week, and they cannot be made of metal or glass. Larger cleanouts mean spacing items across several weeks.

Rule 04

Marine batteries and boat fluids have a drop-off home

County Recycling Centers take auto and marine batteries along with motor oil and antifreeze, useful for South River boat owners clearing out a garage or shed. Gasoline and other fuels are a different story: no County facility or curbside route accepts them.

Rule 05

Refrigerators and freezers need their own scheduled pickup

Appliances holding chemical refrigerants, like refrigerators and air conditioners, go to a Freon recovery area at the Millersville Landfill. Curbside, they must be scheduled separately, never set out on regular trash day, and ready by 6 a.m. Only requested items get collected.

Rule 06

Lumber and remodeling debris are barred from curbside trash

The County does not collect wood, lumber, or building and construction materials at the curb. Rubble is accepted at the Millersville Landfill, where fees apply to some loads and an Anne Arundel County driver's license and vehicle registration are required.

Not unless it fits your trash hauler's or the county's bulk collection rules. Riva is unincorporated, so Anne Arundel County rules apply. Items left out outside a scheduled pickup can count as illegal dumping, so check your collection schedule first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Riva starts at $85, 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. The exact total is confirmed before booking.

Same-day pickup is sometimes available depending on Loader schedules and demand in your area. Enter your address when booking to see live availability for Riva. Next-day and scheduled windows are usually easier to get.

For curbside or driveway pickups, no. Leave the items out with access notes. For items inside a home, someone should be there, or you can leave access instructions at booking. Your Loader typically contacts you before arriving.

Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash or standard junk loads. Large or restricted items often need special handling. Check with Anne Arundel County Solid Waste for current rules before setting anything out.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners accept.

You pick your items online, see the price, and choose a time window. On pickup day your Loader arrives, confirms the items, removes them, and hauls them away. The price is confirmed before booking, with no in-person estimate needed.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers often charge by truck volume and may confirm the price on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler can be a good fit.
