The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Temple City takes longer than it should

You search online, call about the city's pickup, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. One callback never comes, another wants to visit first. Weeks later, the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs can work well for a single bulky item. Usually you have to request a slot ahead of time, set items out on a set day, and stay within limits on what qualifies. Garage cleanouts, remodel debris, and tight deadlines often don't fit.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Lots of traditional haulers won't give you a firm number until someone comes out to look. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your load fills, which is hard to guess. You end up agreeing to a figure you can't check in advance.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers turn away stained upholstery, worn mattresses, broken appliances, and anything they can't resell, and they have good reason to. Even when they accept items, you usually still have to load and drive them over yourself. Whatever gets rejected comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container is made for big projects, not one cluttered room. You may need approval to put it on the street, you have to work around delivery and pickup windows, and it can sit in the driveway for days. You still do all the lifting yourself.

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 show up ready to lift

Your Loaders know how to work through a packed garage at the back of a long driveway, shelf by shelf. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Temple City after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Left by the driveway or carried out from inside

If you've already moved a broken treadmill or a pile of yard bags to the end of your driveway, curbside (outdoor) service keeps the visit short. If things are still in the garage, a back bedroom or upstairs, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out from where it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Temple City, and everywhere between the 210 and the 10

Temple City has no freeway of its own, so every trip with a loaded pickup means surface streets and a slow crawl on Rosemead Boulevard, with a dresser and fence boards sliding around behind you. Skip it. Your Loader does the lifting and hauling, and showing up for Temple City neighbors is the part we like best.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely have a single destination, and that matters in Temple City, where garages and yards fill up fast. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces have a chance at a second life when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, appliances, and household goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader can separate them during loading, though acceptance depends on local donation options and is never guaranteed.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but not suited for donation, such as metal frames, wood, or scrap, may be recycled where available. Your Loader sorts them as they load, and options vary by material.

  • Materials sorted and recovered
  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs
See common questions
Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, like a water-ruined mattress or broken furniture, are taken for responsible disposal at an appropriate facility. Your Loader handles the lifting, so you don't have to.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Temple City disposal rules most residents don't know

Leaving items on public or private property without a scheduled pickup is treated as illegal dumping and subject to citation. These rules apply in Temple City, Los Angeles County.

Rule 01

Remodeling debris has two approved paths away from landfills

Temple City's Building Department requires that construction, remodeling, and tenant improvement debris be diverted from landfills. Contractors either use Athens Services for debris hauling or prepare a waste management plan, and any other facility must be pre-approved by the city.

Rule 02

Palm fronds and cacti stay out of the green container

Temple City's green container does not accept palm fronds, cacti, succulents, yucca plants, dirt, or stones. Tree trimmings over four inches in diameter or four feet long are also excluded, though tree trunks are on the accepted list for bulky item pickup.

Rule 03

Hazardous items found in household trash get tagged and left

Temple City's hazardous waste list includes paints, pool chemicals, motor oil, fluorescent tubes, batteries, tires, electronic appliances, and computers. None of these can go in the trash. If any turn up in household trash, the trash is tagged as hazardous and not collected.

Rule 04

Flatten moving boxes but keep packing peanuts out of blue

Temple City's blue recycling container takes broken down cardboard, corrugated fiberboard, and clean pizza boxes. Packaging peanuts, liquids, food waste, and yard trimmings are not allowed in the blue container, so packing fill from a move has to go somewhere else.

Rule 05

Secure or remove appliance doors before setting them curbside

For safety, Temple City asks that refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and other appliances set out for bulky pickup have their doors secured or removed. Appliances go curbside, not in the street, and only on the scheduled pickup day.

Rule 06

Pianos and pool tables fall outside the city's bulky pickup

Temple City households get weekly bulky item pickup through Athens Services at no added charge when it is scheduled ahead. Pianos, pool tables, automobile parts, and construction debris are excluded, and setting them out may interrupt service.

Yes. Temple City's residential service through Athens Services includes bulky item pickup at no additional charge. Items should be set out on your collection day, and it's worth confirming current item limits and any scheduling steps with Athens at (888) 336-6100 before setting anything out.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Temple City starts at $75, 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, with the exact total confirmed before booking.

Same-day pickup is sometimes available in the San Gabriel Valley, depending on Loader schedules and your zip code. Enter your address during booking to see live availability. Next-day and scheduled slots are typically easier to get.

For curbside pickups, no. Leave items outdoors with any access notes and Loaders handle the rest. For in-home pickups, someone should be there, or you can leave access instructions at booking. Your Loader reaches out before arriving.

Hazardous materials such as paint, solvents, batteries, and chemicals generally can't go out with regular bulky pickup in Los Angeles County. They need a household hazardous waste drop-off or event. Check Athens or LA County Public Works for accepted items.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle materials whenever options allow, depending on acceptance at local facilities. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition.

You book online, pick curbside or in-home service, and see the total price before confirming. On pickup day, your Loader arrives in your chosen window, loads the items, and takes them away. Curbside jobs don't require an appointment at your door.

The pricing model. Traditional haulers usually charge by truckload and give an estimate, sometimes finalized on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler may suit you better.
