The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Staunton takes longer than it should

You search online, call city hall to ask what trash service will take, leave messages with a couple of haulers, and wait. One calls back, one never does. Weeks go by, and the pile hasn't moved.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

If your trash service offers a bulk pickup, it usually has limits: item caps, a set schedule, and a list of things it won't take, like yard waste or electronics. And you still have to drag everything out to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to come look at the job before they give you a number, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. You often don't know the real total until the truck is loaded and it's too late to say no.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to be choosy. Stained upholstery, worn mattresses and broken furniture often get turned away, and most expect you to load it up and drop it off yourself. Some of what you're clearing out won't qualify anywhere.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A dumpster makes sense for a full gut job, not a cluttered spare room. You have to plan delivery and pickup, find room on your property for it, and may need permission to put it on the street. Then you still do all the lifting.

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.

Serving Staunton, from Route 4 to the I-55 exit and everywhere in between

Around here, everybody knows whose pickup is whose, and borrowing one for a dump run means owing somebody a favor and a Saturday. Skip the trade. Your Loader does the lifting, carrying and loading, from basement stairs to the back shed, because Staunton folks deserve their weekends back, and your Loader likes showing up for them.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely fit in a car, and a drive out of town to dispose of them adds up. In Staunton, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so reusable pieces have a chance at a second life.

Local Disposal Rules

The Staunton disposal rules most residents don't know

Putting state-banned items like televisions, tires, or brush in the garbage can violate Illinois landfill bans. These rules apply to households in Staunton and across Macoupin County.

Rule 01

Burn barrels are not a legal shortcut for household trash

Illinois EPA open burning rules prohibit burning household garbage inside municipal limits like Staunton's. Burning construction materials such as shingles, treated lumber, or drywall is not an allowed exemption, so winter cleanouts and remodeling scraps need proper disposal.

Rule 02

Refrigerators and freezers need their refrigerant removed before disposal

Illinois bars white goods from landfills unless components like refrigerant, mercury switches, and PCB-containing capacitors are removed first. Federal rules also require a certified technician to recover the refrigerant, so a fridge or window air conditioner should not go out with regular garbage.

Rule 03

Fallen limbs and leaves stay out of the trash cart

Illinois has banned landscape waste from landfills since 1990, which covers grass clippings, leaves, and tree and shrub trimmings. After a spring storm or fall leaf drop in Staunton, that material needs separate yard waste handling or a compost site, not the garbage.

Rule 04

Car and lawn tractor batteries have a built-in return option

Illinois prohibits disposing of lead-acid batteries in landfills and incinerators. Retailers that sell them must accept used batteries from customers buying new ones, so swapping an old mower or truck battery at the store keeps lead and acid out of local soil.

Rule 05

Old televisions and computer monitors are banned from Illinois landfills

Under the state's Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act, residents cannot put televisions, computer monitors, printers, computers, keyboards, or video game consoles in household trash. These devices must go to an electronics collection site or recycling event instead.

Rule 06

Whole used tires cannot go to Illinois landfills

State law has kept whole tires out of landfills since the mid-1990s. Illinois tire retailers must accept used tires from customers in a quantity equal to the new tires they buy, which gives Staunton residents a simple disposal route.

Not unless your trash hauler has agreed to take it. Regular pickup covers bagged household trash, and bulk items usually need arrangements with your provider. Items left out with no pickup arranged can count as illegal dumping, so ask your hauler or City Hall first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Staunton starts at $80, 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.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability in the Staunton area that day, and next-day is more common. Enter your address during booking to see the open times. For curbside pickups you generally don't need to be home.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups. Leave the items outside with any access notes. For items inside your home or garage, someone should be there, or you can leave access instructions when booking so the Loader can get in.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, pesticides, fuel, and chemicals are generally off limits for haulers. These usually need a household hazardous waste program or a special collection event. Check with Macoupin County or your waste provider for accepted dates and drop-off locations.

Loaders aim to keep usable items out of the landfill. Depending on acceptance, good items may go to local donation centers, and recyclable materials go to recycling facilities. Anything that can't be donated or recycled is taken to an appropriate disposal facility.

You book online, choose your items and a time window, and see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives in the window, usually after a heads-up message, then removes the items and handles disposal. Payment happens after the job is done.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Many traditional haulers, such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King, price by truckload and may confirm the cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, so you see the total before anyone arrives. For a very large cleanout, a truckload quote can still be worth comparing.
