Why LoadUp

The smarter way to clear out a waterbed

Dragging out a waterbed frame and mattress yourself is a two-day project. LoadUp turns it into one scheduled visit with Loaders who handle the hard part.

  • Price locked before you commit

    See your total before you book, with no surprise fees added on pickup day. What you're quoted is what you pay.

  • Same-day availability

    Need it gone fast? Same-day pickup is available when you book before noon, so you're not waiting on a city bulk pickup that may never come.

  • In-home, not just curbside

    Your Loaders pick up from your bedroom, upstairs, or anywhere inside your home. No dragging it to the curb first.

  • Donation & recycling first

    When local options allow, components are routed toward donation or recycling rather than landfill. Responsible disposal where it's available.

What to Expect

Full-service removal breakdown

Waterbed disposal service details

Waterbed pricing is based on the size and configuration of the setup, including whether it has a full pedestal base, a standard frame, or a softside design. Larger hardside setups with a raised pedestal typically fall into a higher tier than a basic frame-only configuration. Access factors like stairs or narrow hallways may also affect your total, and those adjustments are shown before you confirm your booking.

The water mattress must be fully drained by you before your Loaders arrive. If the heater is still connected, disconnect and unplug it ahead of pickup, as your Loaders do not handle any electrical components.

Waterbed types and configurations we take

LoadUp picks up all common waterbed styles, from vintage hardside setups to more recent softside designs.

  • Hardside waterbed
  • Softside waterbed
  • Waveless waterbed
  • Waterbed with pedestal base
  • Waterbed frame only
  • California king waterbed
  • Queen waterbed
  • Dual-chamber waterbed

Options & add-ons (clearly priced)

Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional services and adjustments, like stairs, in-home pickup, or disassembly of the frame and pedestal, are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free on pickup day.

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 donation or recycling for waterbed components, including the wooden frame and pedestal, whenever local options are available. Vinyl mattress bladders have limited recycling infrastructure in most areas, so disposal outcomes vary based on item condition and what facilities are accessible at the time of pickup.

Waterbed pickup typically starts around $355, though your final price depends on the size and configuration of your setup, the pickup type you choose, and access factors like stairs or tight hallways. A large hardside setup with a full pedestal base will generally cost more than a basic frame-only configuration. Curbside pickup is priced lower than in-home, and any adjustments are shown before you confirm so there are no surprises on pickup day.

Yes, the water mattress must be fully drained before your Loaders arrive. A full waterbed bladder is far too heavy to move safely, so draining it ahead of time is a required preparation step on your end. Your Loaders are not able to drain the mattress for you, so plan to have it empty and dry before your scheduled pickup window.

Yes, breaking down the frame and pedestal base is part of what your Loaders handle on pickup day. Once they arrive, they'll take apart the frame, carry out the pieces along with the drained mattress, and navigate any hallways or stairwells needed to get everything out. You don't need to disassemble anything yourself ahead of time.

Your Loaders can take the heater as an item once it has been disconnected and unplugged, but they do not handle any electrical components themselves. Disconnecting and unplugging the heater before pickup is your responsibility. If it's still connected when they arrive, they won't be able to remove it.

Yes, in-home pickup is available and your Loaders will carry everything out from your bedroom, including upstairs rooms or spaces with tight hallways. If you book curbside, you'll need to have the disassembled pieces accessible outside before they arrive. If you book in-home, someone must be home to provide access since your Loaders will need to enter the space.

Your Loaders prioritize donation or recycling for the wooden frame and pedestal components when local options are available. Vinyl mattress bladders have limited recycling infrastructure in most areas, so disposal outcomes for the mattress will depend on item condition and what facilities are accessible at the time of pickup. Disposal decisions are made based on what's locally available, and recycling or donation cannot be guaranteed.
