The Problem

Getting junk off a Rochester property is harder than it looks

You search online, call the village office, and leave messages with a few haulers. One never calls back, another wants to come look first. Weeks go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Village trash service handles regular household pickup, but large items often need special arrangements, extra fees, or a separate request, and some things aren't accepted at all. Check with the village or its hauler first. You'll probably still need to drag everything to the road yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Lots of haulers want to come out and see the job before they give you a number, so you lose a day just getting a quote. Prices based on how much of the truck you fill can change once loading starts, and you won't know the total until the end.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers only take items they can resell, so anything stained, broken, or worn out usually gets turned away. Most won't take old appliances, mattresses, or the leftover clutter from a barn cleanout. You also have to load and drive everything there yourself.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off dumpster gives you more room than most cleanouts need, plus delivery and pickup windows you have to plan around. It can tear up a lawn or gravel driveway, and you still do all the lifting. For one garage or a few big pieces, it's too much.

Local Haulers

Vetted Loaders who handle the heavy lifting

Hauling a dresser up a narrow basement stairway or carrying old equipment out of a detached barn takes care and muscle. Your Loaders are background-checked and rated by real locals in Rochester after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Already outside or still tucked away inside

If the old riding mower or scrap pile is already sitting at the end of your driveway, curbside (outdoor) pickup keeps things simple. For items still in a basement, garage loft, or outbuilding at the back of a larger lot, choose full-service so your Loaders carry everything out to the truck for you.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Rochester, from the Fox River to the fields beyond

Out here, one old workbench can turn into an afternoon of loading the truck bed, strapping it down, and driving toward Burlington and back. Your Loader skips that, carrying it from the barn or garage to the truck. Rochester neighbors deserve their Saturdays back, and your Loaders like showing up for them.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items and cleanout debris don't all belong in the same place, which is why where things go after pickup matters in Rochester. Your Loader sorts by condition, so donation, recycling, or disposal fits each item.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader can load them separately, though acceptance depends on what local options allow at the time.

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

  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Rochester disposal rules most residents don't know

A torn trash bag or an unbagged 96-gallon cart means waste stays at the curb, and these rules apply specifically in the Village of Rochester in Racine County.

Rule 01

Non-recreational burns now require notifying the Racine County Sheriff

Open burning is prohibited in the village unless the code specifically permits it. Ordinance 2026-4, enacted in April 2026, requires notifying the Racine County Sheriff's Department for all non-recreational burns, and open burning is barred on DNR air quality watch or advisory days.

Rule 02

Mostly metal appliances are collected free if emptied first

Any item that is 90% metal or more, such as a freezer, dishwasher, refrigerator or lawnmower, is collected at no additional cost when scheduled ahead. Appliances must be emptied before pickup, so clear out spoiled food and stored contents beforehand.

Rule 03

Oversized carts are refused and torn bags stay behind

Village trash is collected manually, with each can lifted into the truck by hand, so 96-gallon carts are not accepted unless everything inside is bagged. Cans can be no larger than 48 gallons, and if a bag tears, that trash is left.

Rule 04

Keep fall leaves out of ditch bottoms on county highways

Village leaf collection runs roughly mid-October to mid-December in designated areas. On County Hwy D, W and FF, leaves belong on the shoulder-side ditch slope, since leaves in the ditch bottom can block stormwater flow during a rainstorm. Yard waste is not accepted with regular trash.

Rule 05

Car tires go out one per week, eight per year

Rochester residents are allotted up to eight car tires per calendar year, limited to one tire per week. Getting rid of a full set of four takes a month of weekly collections, so start early when clearing out a garage.

Rule 06

Twelve free bulk items a year, but only two per week

Village residents get up to 12 bulk items per calendar year, such as a sofa, mattress or recliner, at no additional cost. Pickup must be scheduled ahead, happens on Friday trash day, and is capped at two items per week.

Only within the Village limits. Rochester residents get up to 12 free bulk items per calendar year, 2 per week, through ASDA Enterprise. Call ASDA at 262-539-2086 to schedule. Trash and recycling go out Fridays by 6 A.M.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Rochester starts at $90 for a single item, 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, with the exact total confirmed before booking.

Same-day slots are sometimes open, depending on Loader availability in your area. Next-day is more common. Enter your address during booking to see live openings. Curbside pickups don't require you to be home, and indoor jobs just need access.

Appliances must be emptied before pickup. Items like TVs, computer monitors, hot tubs, pianos and empty propane tanks aren't part of the free bulk allotment. They need a call to ASDA for pricing. A hauler can take these items without the village process.

Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill. They aim to donate furniture and household goods to local charities, recycle items like metal and electronics when facilities accept them, and dispose of the rest responsibly. Outcomes depend on item condition and acceptance.

Pick your items and your zip code online, then choose a time. You see the price before you confirm. On pickup day, your Loader calls before arriving, hauls the items out from inside or the curb, and loads them. No in-person estimate is needed.

For a few items you can wait on, yes, the village's 12 free bulk pickups a year are the cheaper route. A hauler like LoadUp makes sense when you need it gone on your schedule, need help carrying it out, or have items outside the free program.

Pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may confirm the total at an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see the total before anyone arrives. Truckload pricing can suit very large cleanouts.
