The Problem

Worthington has junk options, just not easy ones

You check the city's website, call around for hauler quotes, and wait on callbacks that never come. One company wants to see the pile first. Another weekend slips by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

City bulk pickup programs are a solid service, but they run on set schedules and limit what they accept. You usually have to request a pickup ahead of time, then drag everything to the curb yourself, which is a tall order from a basement.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't give you a real number until someone comes out for an in-person estimate. Then the price depends on how much of the truck your stuff seems to fill, so the total can change once loading starts.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items they can actually resell, so stained, worn, or broken pieces often get turned away. Even good items are on you to load, drive over, and drop off, and anything they decline rides home with you.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container on your driveway means booking delivery and pickup dates, possibly checking permit rules, and leaving a big steel box sitting where the neighbors can see it for days. You still have to do all the lifting, for what might be one room's worth.

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.
  • No-obligation quotes. Big job or full cleanout? Text a photo for a guaranteed price first.

Pickup Options

Set it by the curb or leave it where it sits

Curbside makes sense when the old patio set is already sitting on your Worthington driveway. If a dresser is still upstairs or a workbench is buried in the garage, choose full-service and your Loaders will carry it out from inside.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Worthington, from High Street out to the 270 outerbelt

Fall Saturdays in central Ohio belong to the Buckeyes, and nobody wants to wedge an old sofa into a hatchback while game day traffic builds. A dump run can swallow your whole weekend. Your Loaders would rather do the lifting and loading, and they genuinely enjoy showing up for Worthington neighbors.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items rarely end up in the same place, and in Worthington the right destination depends on what shape each piece is in. Your Loader sorts by condition when possible, so usable things get a second life and the rest is handled responsibly.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture, housewares, and other items in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader can carry them out separately, where local donation options allow and accept them.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor
See donation pickup
Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but still made of recyclable materials, like metal frames or cardboard, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them when local options make that possible.

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

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken-down bulky pieces that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site. Your Loader handles the loading and hauling so you don't have to make the trip.

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

Local Disposal Rules

The Worthington disposal rules most residents don't know

Setting items out too early breaks city ordinance, and items set out late or prepared the wrong way can be left behind. These rules apply in Worthington, Franklin County.

Rule 01

Move-out piles and apartment cleanouts fall outside city collection

Worthington's weekly service covers only single-family homes, two-family homes, and condominiums. Apartment buildings are not part of the city program. The city also lists move-in and move-out loads, large bulk quantities, and judicial set outs from court-ordered evictions as items it will not collect.

Rule 02

Fall leaves go to the curb line, never into the street

Worthington's vacuum leaf collection runs from mid-October into early December. Leaves raked into the street clog storm sewers, and the equipment can't reach piles more than two feet from the curb. Brush, twigs, or grass clippings mixed in damage the vacuum machine.

Rule 03

Freon-based appliances require a separate request and per-item fee

Freon-based appliances do not go out with regular Friday trash. Residents must contact Local Waste Services, the city's contracted collector, ahead of time to set up a pickup. Each appliance has its own disposal fee, so a refrigerator and a freezer are charged separately.

Rule 04

Bricks, concrete, and remodeling debris stay out of curbside pickup

Worthington's collection guidelines list masonry, concrete, bricks, stones, and construction debris as items that won't be collected, however neatly they are bagged. Every bag or can must also weigh under 50 pounds, and heavy rubble goes over that limit quickly.

Rule 05

Mattresses and upholstered furniture must be wrapped in plastic first

Worthington's curbside guidelines require any upholstered item, including mattresses and box springs, to be wrapped in plastic before it goes to the curb. Bulky pieces are picked up with regular Friday collection, but larger items may need to be broken into smaller pieces first.

Rule 06

Liquid paint and household chemicals go to SWACO, not the cart

Liquid paints, oil, and household hazardous waste won't be collected at Worthington curbs. SWACO's household hazardous waste program gives Franklin County residents a free way to get rid of them, with a permanent drop-off facility and seasonal mobile events that keep these materials out of the county landfill.

Only on trash day. Worthington collects trash, recycling and yard waste on Fridays, and by city ordinance nothing goes out before 6 a.m. Thursday. Containers can't exceed 35 gallons, so bulky junk usually needs a separate plan.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Worthington starts at $75, 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 charge. Your exact total is confirmed before booking.

Often, depending on Loader availability in your area. Enter your Worthington address when booking to see live same-day and next-day times. Curbside jobs don't require you to be home, and in-home jobs need someone present or access instructions.

Franklin County residents can take household hazardous waste like paint, antifreeze, oil and batteries to the SWACO household hazardous waste drop-off facility, run with contractor EEI. These items don't belong in regular Friday trash, so it's best to keep them separate from a junk haul.

Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance. Whatever can't be donated or recycled goes to a licensed disposal site. Outcomes vary by item condition and what local partners will take.

Book online, choose your items and a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives, removes the items from your home, garage, driveway or curb, and hauls them away. You don't need to be present for curbside jobs.

The main difference is pricing and booking. Traditional haulers typically price by truck load and may confirm cost on site. LoadUp prices per item online, with the total shown before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truck-load hauler can be a reasonable fit.

If your junk fits the 35-gallon container limit and you can wait for Friday collection, regular city service is the cheaper choice. Paid removal makes sense for bulky items, cleanouts, or when you need things gone on your schedule.
