The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Tonka Bay takes longer than it should

You look up the hauler's rules, call around for quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. A few weekends go by, and the junk is still sitting in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Bulky pickup here usually goes through your trash hauler or a city contract, not a free city crew. You often have to schedule it ahead, and some items, like appliances or electronics, may be refused or need special handling. You still have to haul everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the pile in person before they'll name a price, and then they quote by the truckload, which is hard to picture ahead of time. That leaves you guessing until the truck pulls away and the final total shows up.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Thrift stores and charities have to resell what they accept, so a stained couch, a broken recliner, or a dated entertainment center usually gets turned away. Most still expect you to load and deliver it, and anything they don't want comes back home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off takes up your driveway for days and can tear up the lawn on the way in. On a quiet residential street, it can also bother the neighbors. You may need permission to place it, and you still do every bit of the lifting and loading 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.

Loaders you can trust inside your home

Walkout basement stairs and garages packed with stored boat gear call for careful lifting by your Loaders, who are background-checked and rated by real locals in Tonka Bay after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Leave it by the driveway or have it carried out

If your items already sit in the driveway or beside the garage, curbside pickup keeps things simple. On a sloped or wooded lot, or when the load is still down in a basement or out in a boathouse, choose full-service so your Loaders can carry it out from where it sits.

  • Same-day or scheduled

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Tonka Bay and the whole shoreline of Lake Minnetonka

Anyone who has crept along Highway 7 behind a boat trailer on a summer Friday knows a dump run is never a quick errand. Add an old sofa roped into the truck bed and it gets worse. Your Loader does the lifting and loading, and LoadUp and your Loaders like showing up for Tonka Bay neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Moving a heavy sectional or an old dresser out of a Tonka Bay home is rarely a one-person job. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable pieces can be reused and less ends up in a landfill.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, small appliances, and sporting goods in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when local options allow. Your Loader loads them separately so they stay in usable shape.

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

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn but not donatable, such as scrap metal, broken electronics, or old bikes, may be recycled where available. Options change, so recycling is never guaranteed for every item.

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged or contaminated bulky items, like soaked mattresses or broken furniture, are taken for responsible disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, and the price is shown at booking.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Tonka Bay disposal rules most residents don't know

Putting a state-banned item in the trash or the fire can bring a citation, so these are the rules that apply to cleanouts in Tonka Bay and Hennepin County.

Rule 01

Old fish houses must come off Lake Minnetonka on time

Minnesota DNR sets seasonal removal deadlines for ice shelters, and owners who leave a shelter or its debris on the ice can be cited. Getting rid of a worn-out fish house means hauling the whole structure to shore before the ice weakens.

Rule 02

Tube TVs and old computer monitors cannot go in the trash

Minnesota bans products containing cathode ray tubes from household garbage because the glass contains lead. Hennepin County's drop-off facilities in Bloomington and Brooklyn Park accept electronics from residents, though some items carry a fee.

Rule 03

Plastic bags are not allowed for yard waste here

In the seven-county metro area, Minnesota law requires yard waste to be set out in compostable bags or reusable containers. State law also keeps leaves, grass clippings, and brush out of regular trash entirely.

Rule 04

Burning trash in a fire pit or barrel is illegal

Minnesota prohibits burning household garbage, plastics, painted or treated lumber, and shingles anywhere in the state, including in backyard burn barrels and fire pits. Cleanout debris has to go through collection or a permitted facility, never into a fire.

Rule 05

Refrigerators and other major appliances are banned from the trash

Minnesota prohibits putting major appliances in household garbage because they can contain refrigerants, mercury switches, and PCB capacitors. They must go to an appliance recycler that removes those parts before the metal is recycled.

Rule 06

Leftover paint cans have a free statewide take-back option

Under Minnesota's paint stewardship law, PaintCare runs free drop-off sites, many at local paint and hardware stores, for leftover house paint, stains, and varnishes. Hennepin County drop-off facilities also accept paint from residents.

Generally only what your hauler's regular service accepts. Tonka Bay residents get garbage, recycling, and yard waste through city-arranged service, so bulky items left out without arrangement can be treated as illegal dumping. Call the city at 952-474-7994 to confirm.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Tonka Bay starts at $95 for a single item, and curbside or outdoor pickup takes $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often yes. Same-day or next-day pickup is usually available when you book before 2PM, depending on the schedule. Enter your address during booking to see live openings. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and indoor pickups need access arranged.

Hazardous items like paint, solvents, batteries, and chemicals should not go in household trash. Hennepin County runs household hazardous waste drop-off sites for residents. Large bulky items usually need special arrangement, so check with the city first.

Loaders try to donate usable items to local charities whenever possible, and recyclables are sent for processing when options allow. What can't be donated or recycled goes to licensed disposal sites. Acceptance varies, so outcomes aren't guaranteed for every item.

You book online, choose what needs to go, and see the price before confirming. Pick a time window, and you'll get a heads up when your Loaders are on the way. They load everything from your garage, home, or curb and haul it off.
