Why LoadUp
A simpler way to clear out old paint
Scheduling a paint can pickup beats tracking down a hazardous waste drop-off location and hauling everything there yourself. Book a time that works, and let your Loader handle the rest.

What to Expect
Full-service removal breakdown
Paint Can disposal service details
Paint can pickup is priced based on the number of cans and their size. A single can or a small handful costs less than a large collection of gallon and five-gallon cans, and quantity is the main factor that affects your total. Access considerations — like cans stored on high shelves or in a crowded garage — may factor in when you add in-home service.
Latex (water-based) paint should be fully dried out or solidified before pickup. Oil-based paint is accepted where local handling options allow, so confirm during booking if you have a large quantity of oil-based cans.
Types of paint cans supported for pickup
Most common paint can types and sizes are accepted for scheduled pickup.
- Latex paint cans
- Oil-based paint cans
- Full paint cans
- Partially used paint cans
- Empty paint cans
- Quart-size paint cans
- Gallon paint cans
- Five-gallon paint buckets
Options & add-ons (clearly priced)
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments like quantity increases or in-home collection from harder-to-reach areas are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate and surprise-free at pickup.
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
Loaders prioritize responsible disposal of paint cans through local household hazardous waste programs and recycling facilities where available. Actual disposal outcomes vary based on local facility access and the type and condition of paint being removed.

“Booked at 9am, Loader was at the house by 1pm. Took the whole basement — couch, treadmill, fridge. Price online was exactly what I paid. I’ve been putting this off for a year and it took 4 hours total.”

“Cleaned out my mom’s house in Decatur after she passed. The team sorted what could be donated before hauling. I didn’t have to make a single call to a charity. Made an awful week genuinely easier.”

“Called the city first — 9-day wait and they wouldn’t take the old fridge anyway. Found LoadUp, booked online in five minutes. Loader was here next morning. This is genuinely how all services should work.”

Contact usPaint can pickup typically starts around $67, though your final price depends on how many cans you have, their size, and whether you choose curbside or in-home collection. A few quart-size cans will cost less than a stack of gallon and five-gallon buckets. You'll see your exact price before you confirm — nothing is added when your Loader arrives.
Yes — latex (water-based) paint should be fully dried out or solidified before your Loader arrives. You can speed this up by leaving the lid off in a well-ventilated area, stirring in cat litter or a paint hardener, or spreading thin layers on cardboard to dry. Oil-based paint is handled differently and does not need to be dried out, but acceptance may depend on local handling options.
Both types are generally accepted for pickup. Latex paint needs to be dried or solidified before your Loader collects it. Oil-based paint is accepted where local handling options allow, so if you have a large quantity of oil-based cans, it's worth confirming during booking. Your Loader collects and transports sealed or prepared cans — they don't open, mix, or treat the paint.
All three are accepted — full cans, partial cans, and empties can all be included in your pickup. The main thing to keep in mind is that latex paint in full or partial cans needs to be dried out or solidified before pickup, regardless of how much paint is left inside. Empty cans with dried residue are generally fine as-is.
Set your paint cans somewhere your Loader can easily reach them — outside by the curb, in your garage, or anywhere inside your home. If you choose in-home service, your Loader will collect from wherever the cans are sitting, including shelves or storage areas. You don't need to haul everything to one spot first, but grouping them together makes the pickup faster.
Yes, paint cans are easy to add on when you're booking a larger cleanout or junk removal job. Just include them when you enter your items at checkout. It's a straightforward way to clear out leftover paint at the same time without scheduling a separate pickup.
