Junk piles up fast, and getting rid of it is rarely how you want to spend your week. Around Scott AFB, LoadUp makes it simple: book a quick pickup and see your price upfront.
You look up pickup rules, figure out which office or hauler covers your address, call a few companies, and wait on callbacks that never come. A week goes by, then two, and the junk is still in the garage.
Nearby towns run municipal pickup schedules, but the base is a federal installation, not a city, and housing has its own rules. Off base, you usually have to request pickup ahead of time, follow item limits, and carry everything to the curb on your own.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before they'll give you a price. Then the quote is based on how much of the truck your stuff fills, which is hard to guess, so the final bill might not match what you expected.
Thrift stores and charities take items they can resell, so stains, wear, or missing parts can get something turned away. Many won't take worn mattresses or older electronics, and you still have to load and haul everything there yourself.
A dumpster is made for remodels, not for an old recliner and a few boxes from a spare room. You'll have to arrange delivery and pickup, check whether your housing or neighborhood allows one, and lift everything over the side yourself.

Let's be honest, borrowing a truck to haul a broken treadmill through morning traffic on Route 158, then sweating through an Illinois July in the driveway, is nobody's favorite Saturday. Your Loader lifts it, carries it, and loads it from the garage or spare room, and they genuinely like showing up for neighbors around Scott.
Bulky items pile up fast around Scott Air Force Base, and what happens after pickup matters as much as the pickup itself. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, favoring reuse and recycling when local options allow.
Furniture, small appliances, and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Availability depends on the item and on what local donation channels are accepting at the time.
Items that are worn or damaged but not fit for reuse, like broken exercise equipment or old electronics, may be recycled where available. Options near St. Clair County vary by item and season.
Heavily damaged or soiled bulky items, such as ruined sofas or waterlogged furniture, are hauled by your Loader to an appropriate disposal site. That keeps them out of your garage, yard, or housing unit.
Bringing banned items to a landfill can get a load turned away or lead to state enforcement. Here is what applies in Scott Air Force Base and St. Clair County.
Illinois bans whole used tires from landfills. State rules also require stored tires to be kept from collecting water, because standing water in tires breeds mosquitoes during humid southern Illinois summers. Keep old tires covered and dry until they go to a tire recycler.
Since 2012, the Illinois Consumer Electronics Recycling Act has kept items like televisions, computer monitors, printers, fax machines and video game consoles out of landfills. Manufacturers pay for registered collection programs, so these items have to go to electronics recycling instead of the trash.
Illinois open burning rules ban burning household garbage, so old furniture, demolition debris and other refuse can't go into a burn pile. Landscape waste is the main exception, and it can be burned only where local ordinances allow it.
Illinois landfills can't accept white goods such as refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners until the refrigerant, mercury switches and PCB-containing parts have been removed. Federal Clean Air Act rules also require refrigerant to be recovered before an appliance is scrapped or thrown away.
Lead-acid batteries are banned from Illinois landfills, and stores that sell them have to accept used batteries from customers. That makes an auto parts store or battery retailer the easiest legal option for an old car, mower or boat battery.
Spring thunderstorms in the Metro East often leave limbs and brush behind, and Illinois has banned landscape waste from most landfills since 1990. Branches, leaves and grass clippings go to composting instead, so keep them separate from household trash.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Scott Air Force Base starts at $80, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on. The exact total is confirmed before booking.
Same-day slots are sometimes available, depending on Loader schedules and demand. Enter your address during booking to see the real openings for your location. Next-day and scheduled windows are usually easier to get, especially around PCS season.
For curbside or driveway pickups, no. Leave the items outside with access notes. For items inside, someone should be present or you can leave access instructions at booking. Base residents should also make sure the Loader can get through gate and housing access.
Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, fuel, and batteries generally can't go in regular trash or on a standard junk truck. Large furniture and appliances often need special handling too. Check with your trash provider or housing office about base and St. Clair County drop-off options.
Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance by local charities and facilities. Whatever can't be reused or recycled goes to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so none are guaranteed.
Pick the items you want gone, enter your address, and choose a time window online. You see the total before you confirm. Your Loader calls ahead before arriving, removes the items, and handles the loading, so cleanouts before a move or housing inspection go quickly.
The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truckload, often confirmed at the job. LoadUp prices per item online and shows the total before booking, which suits small and mid-size jobs. Large full-house cleanouts may suit a truckload hauler.
