Why LoadUp

The smarter way to get rid of boxes

City recycling bins fill up fast, and bulk pickup programs make you wait. LoadUp gets your stacked cardboard gone on your schedule, without the hassle.

  • Price locked before you commit

    See your total before you book. No surprise charges after pickup, no matter how many boxes your Loaders haul away.

  • Same-day availability

    Book before noon and same-day pickup may be available, so your packing debris does not sit around waiting on a municipal schedule.

  • In-home, not just curbside

    Your Loaders pick up from your garage, a back bedroom, the hallway, or anywhere the stacks have taken over, not just the curb.

  • Donation & recycling first

    Cardboard is recycled when possible and where local options allow, keeping it out of landfills whenever your Loaders can make it happen.

What to Expect

Full-service removal breakdown

Cardboard Box disposal service details

Pricing is based on the volume of cardboard your Loaders haul away. A small stack of delivery cartons costs less than a garage full of moving boxes, and your total is calculated upfront before you confirm the booking.

Boxes should be empty before pickup. Remove any packing peanuts, bubble wrap, foam inserts, or other non-cardboard materials from inside the boxes before your Loaders arrive.

Cardboard box pickup typically starts around $62. Your final price depends on the volume of cardboard, your pickup location, and whether you choose curbside or in-home service. You get a guaranteed upfront total before confirming, so there are no surprise charges once your Loaders haul everything away.

Yes, large volumes are exactly what this service is built for. If you've got a garage full of moving boxes or a stack of delivery cartons that's outgrown your recycling bin, your Loaders can handle it all in one pickup. There's no quantity limit, and your price is based on the total volume hauled away.

You don't have to flatten every box before your Loaders arrive. Flattening them yourself can speed things up and may lower the volume count, but it isn't required. Your Loaders handle the stacking and loading, so assembled boxes are fine too.

Yes. Remove any packing peanuts, bubble wrap, foam inserts, or other non-cardboard materials from inside the boxes before your Loaders arrive. Boxes with contents still inside, or non-cardboard packing materials mixed in, aren't accepted.

Your Loaders prioritize recycling cardboard whenever possible and where local options are available. Disposal decisions get made on-site based on the cardboard's condition and what recycling facilities exist in your area. Heavily soiled, wet, greasy, or moldy cardboard may not be recyclable and gets handled accordingly.

For curbside pickup, your Loaders collect the cardboard from an accessible outdoor spot and you don't need to be home. For in-home pickup, someone needs to be present to provide access, and your Loaders will carry the boxes out from your garage, basement, or wherever the stacks have landed.

For just a few boxes, most curbside recycling programs will take them if they're broken down, emptied, and often bundled or tied together, though rules vary by city. It's really once the volume gets past what a recycling bin can hold, or the boxes pile up faster than pickup day arrives, that a dedicated pickup service starts making more sense than waiting on municipal recycling.

No. Wet or moldy cardboard breaks down the paper fibers that recycling facilities rely on, which makes it unsuitable for standard recycling. Food-soiled or greasy cardboard has the same problem. If your boxes have been sitting somewhere damp, it's worth checking their condition before pickup, since that affects how they'll be disposed of.

Moves tend to produce a lot of cardboard because most people buy or collect new boxes rather than reusing what's already broken down, and unpacking on the other end creates another wave of it all at once. That's part of why post-move cleanups are one of the more common reasons people book a cardboard pickup instead of slowly working through it with curbside recycling.
