Couple dealing with getting rid of a mattress
2014
Where it all started
Our Story

It started with a mattress.
It became a mission.

Before LoadUp, our founder Greg Workmon spent his days working inside sales at one of the nation’s largest waste management companies, fielding calls from people who just needed to get rid of an old mattress and had nowhere to turn. The big waste companies wouldn’t touch it. The junk removal franchises would, but only after quoting a price once the truck was already in the driveway.

“The big junk franchises used convoluted sales tactics designed to overcharge people. I started LoadUp to offer the most honest, convenient, affordable solution on the market.”

So Greg founded LoadUp in 2014 with a simple fix: show customers the price before a truck ever shows up. By building a crowdsourced network of independent, licensed, and insured haulers instead of a traditional fleet, LoadUp created a leaner supply chain, one that could charge less without cutting corners on quality or coverage.

That gap, a common item nobody would take, without overcharging, is why LoadUp exists today: a solution built to make disposal accessible and affordable for everyone.

Why We Exist

The old way was broken.
We fixed it.

Junk removal didn’t have to be this frustrating. We just decided to do something about it.

Price revealed on arrival

The truck shows up first, then they quote. You’re left haggling, with no real leverage to walk away.

Endless phone tag

Getting a quote meant calling, waiting for a callback, and hoping someone showed up.

Everything went to landfill

Nobody was thinking about where your stuff actually ended up. Landfill was always the default.

LoadUp

Upfront price, always

See your exact price before you book. It never changes when the hauler arrives.

Book in 60 seconds online

Enter your zip, select your service, see the price, pick a date. Done. Same-day available.

Donate & recycle first

We prioritize donation and recycling wherever possible. Landfill is always the last resort.

We believe in building this company to last and withstand the test of time. We play the long game in our decision-making and execution.
