Junk piles up fast, and hauling it off is the last thing you want to deal with. Around USF country, LoadUp makes it simple: book a quick pickup and see your price first.
You search for options, call the county, request a few hauler quotes, and wait. One never calls back, another wants to come look first. Meanwhile the pile in the spare room just sits there, another week older.
Hillsborough County's bulk collection can handle some large items, but it runs on its own schedule, usually needs to be requested ahead, and has limits on what and how much goes out. Many apartment residents can't use it at all and have to follow their complex's rules instead.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before giving you a number, then charge by how much of the truck you fill. You often won't know the final cost until everything is loaded, which makes it hard to plan around a lease or closing date.
Thrift stores and charities need items they can resell, so stained cushions, worn mattresses, and broken appliances often get turned away. Even good pieces need a way to get there, and most donation drop-offs won't carry anything down your stairs.
A roll-off container takes up your driveway for days and may need HOA or property approval first. You still have to drag every heavy piece out and lift it over the wall yourself, which is a lot of hassle to clear out one garage corner.

Your Loaders angle a dresser down a narrow third-floor walk-up stairwell and around tight landings. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in University after each job.
If the old washer is already sitting in the driveway or beside the garage of your single-family home, curbside is the simple fit. For a treadmill in a second-floor unit at a garden-style complex, or anything still indoors, choose full-service so your Loaders carry it out from wherever it sits.

Around here, the calendar runs on semesters and lease dates, so moving days tend to pile up. Good luck borrowing a pickup then, or hauling a sofa down an apartment stairwell by yourself. Your Loader does the lifting, and showing up for the students, families, and landlords of this community is the part we like best.
Big, bulky items pile up fast in University, which is why where they end up matters as much as getting them out. Your Loader sorts each haul by condition, aiming for donation or recycling before disposal.
Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be donated when possible. Your Loader sets them aside for that path, though the outcome depends on what local options allow.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or some electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them, since local recycling options vary.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or contaminated bulky items, such as a broken sofa or a water-ruined mattress, are disposed of responsibly. Your Loader carries them out of your University home and loads them for proper disposal.
Bulky items set out without a scheduled pickup won't be collected, and self-hauls past the yearly allowance pay commercial charges. These rules apply in University, Hillsborough County.
Florida's long growing season fills yards fast, and the residential assessment covers up to two tons of self-hauled yard waste. Sort it from garbage before arriving; accepted material includes brush, leaves, grass clippings, tree trimmings, shrub trimmings, and untreated wood.
University borders Tampa and Temple Terrace, and city residents follow their own city's appliance and bulky waste options. At Community Collection Centers, County Solid Waste customers must show a photo ID and a copy of their property tax bill.
Community Collection Centers accept batteries from any County resident with a photo ID. At sites such as the Northwest County facility, rechargeable batteries require individual bagging, and auto, marine, and motorcycle lead-acid batteries are also accepted.
Bulky items too large for the gray cart need a fee-based special pickup requested in advance, and the County counts every 20 cardboard boxes as one item. Recycling drop-off at Community Collection Centers is open to any County resident, no ID required.
Hillsborough County's Resource Recovery Facility accepts only burnable waste, so construction and demolition debris is not accepted there. Commercial customers bringing non-burnable waste to the Southeast County Landfill must complete a waste profile form.
County Solid Waste customers get 10 cubic yards of bulky waste and appliance disposal yearly at Community Collection Centers, roughly five loaded pickup beds. Beyond that, standard commercial disposal charges apply at transfer stations or Southeast County Landfill, unless you wait for the reset.

(678) 884-4738Not without arranging it first. Hillsborough County Solid Waste collects bulky items that won't fit in the gray cart only through a special curbside pickup request, so unscheduled piles can be treated as illegal dumping. Call (813) 272-5680 to confirm the current process.
LoadUp pricing for junk removal in University 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, with the exact total confirmed before booking. The county's special pickups generally run $30 to $50.
Same-day slots are sometimes available depending on Loader schedules in your area, and next-day is more common. Enter your address during booking to see live availability for University. Curbside items don't require anyone to be home, while indoor pickups need access arranged.
Not at the curb. Paint, electronics and batteries go to a county Community Collection Center, and household hazardous waste is accepted at select Saturday events from 8 AM to 2 PM with photo ID. Building debris and commercial waste are generally not accepted through residential programs.
Partly. Hillsborough residential customers get 10 cubic yards of free disposal per year for bulky waste and appliances at Community Collection Centers, covered by the annual assessment. A pickup truck bed holds roughly two cubic yards. Beyond that, fees apply, and you'll need your own truck.
Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to the appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so donation or recycling can't be guaranteed for every pickup.
You pick your items and a time window online, and you see the price before booking. A Loader arrives in that window and carries the items out, so you don't have to lift anything. For apartment complexes, check with management about dumpster and elevator rules first.
Pricing model and booking flow. Traditional haulers often price by truckload and may confirm the total at the home, while LoadUp prices per item online and confirms your total before booking. For a few items, per-item pricing can be simpler, though large cleanouts may suit a truckload hauler.
