Why LoadUp

Toolbox removal done the right way

Renting a truck and wrestling a metal tool chest out of the garage is a project nobody needs. LoadUp handles the whole thing so you don't have to.

  • Price locked before you commit

    See your exact price before you book. No surprise fees added at pickup, no matter how heavy or bulky the tool chest turns out to be.

  • Same-day availability

    Need it gone quickly? Same-day pickup is available in most areas when you book before noon, so you're not waiting weeks like you would with city bulk pickup.

  • In-home, not just curbside

    Your Loaders come inside your garage, workshop, shed, or basement to carry the toolbox out. You don't need to drag it to the curb first.

  • Donation & recycling first

    Metal tool chests are often recyclable, and usable units may be donated when local options allow. Your Loaders pursue the responsible route where it's available.

What to Expect

Full-service removal breakdown

Toolbox disposal service details

Toolbox pickup pricing is based on the size and quantity of units being removed. A single portable toolbox is priced differently than a large rolling tool chest or a multi-section mechanic's cabinet, and access factors like stairs or a tight garage layout may affect the final total. You'll see your exact price before confirming the booking.

Please remove loose chemicals, solvents, oils, aerosols, and batteries before pickup, as Loaders cannot haul hazardous materials. Secure or remove any sharp loose blades, and detach the toolbox from any wall mount or anchor point so your Loaders can carry it out safely.

Toolboxes and tool storage we pick up

LoadUp accepts a wide range of tool storage units, from compact portable boxes to large multi-section rolling cabinets.

  • Portable toolbox
  • Rolling tool chest
  • Tool cabinet
  • Mechanic's toolbox
  • Top chest and bottom cabinet combo
  • Steel job site box
  • Plastic tool storage box
  • Multi-drawer tool chest

Options & add-ons (clearly priced)

Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like stairs, additional toolboxes, or oversized rolling cabinets are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free at pickup.

Volume discounts

The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.

Flights of stairs

Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.

Item disassembly

For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.

Donation drop-off

Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.

Sustainability efforts

Your Loaders prioritize recycling metal tool chests and donating usable units to local organizations whenever possible. Outcomes vary based on the condition of the toolbox and what recycling or donation facilities are available in your area at the time of pickup.

Toolbox pickup typically starts around $80, though your final price depends on the size and number of units being removed, whether you choose curbside or in-home pickup, and your location. A single portable toolbox is priced differently than a large rolling tool chest or a multi-section mechanic's cabinet. You'll see your exact total before you confirm the booking, so there are no surprise fees at pickup.

Yes, your Loaders handle large rolling tool chests, multi-section cabinets, and mechanic's boxes, including units that are heavy or awkward to move solo. If you have more than one toolbox to remove, you can add them during booking and your price will reflect the full scope of the job. Just make sure any bolted or wall-mounted units are detached before pickup so your Loaders can carry them out safely.

You do not need to remove every tool, but you should take out any loose hazardous materials before your Loaders arrive. That includes chemicals, solvents, oils, aerosols, and batteries, since those cannot be hauled. It is also a good idea to secure or remove any loose sharp blades so the toolbox can be handled safely. Tools and non-hazardous contents that remain inside are generally fine to leave.

If you book in-home pickup, your Loaders will come inside your garage, workshop, shed, or basement to carry the toolbox out. You do not need to drag it to the curb first. If you book curbside pickup, the toolbox needs to be in an accessible outdoor location before your Loaders arrive. Choose in-home pickup at booking if the toolbox is still inside.

Your Loaders pursue recycling and donation where local options are available, and metal tool chests are often recyclable. Usable units in decent condition may be donated to a local organization when that option exists in your area. Outcomes depend on the condition of the toolbox and what facilities are available at the time of pickup, so neither recycling nor donation can be guaranteed. No donation receipt is provided.

Your Loaders cannot haul hazardous materials, so anything in that category needs to come out before pickup. That includes solvents, motor oil, spray cans, aerosols, and loose batteries. Most areas have household hazardous waste drop-off programs where those items can be disposed of safely. Once the toolbox is cleared of those contents, your Loaders can take it from there.
