Why LoadUp
Sandbox removal done the right way
Dragging a sand-filled box to the curb yourself is a project nobody wants. Your Loaders handle the heavy work so you can skip straight to a cleared yard.
See My PriceSame-day availability
Need it gone this week? Same-day pickup is available when you book before noon, so you are not waiting on a city bulk pickup schedule.
In-home, not just curbside
Your Loaders come to wherever the sandbox sits, backyard, patio, or side yard, and carry it out for you.
Donation & recycling first
When local options allow, your Loaders route sandbox materials toward recycling or reuse. Disposal decisions are made on-site based on what is available nearby.
Local Haulers
Loaders who handle the hard part
Your Loaders carry the sandbox and its sand out of your backyard, and can break down a bulky wooden frame on-site if it will not fit through a gate. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real customers after every job.

What to Expect
Full-service removal breakdown
Sandbox disposal service details
Pricing is based on the size and configuration of your sandbox, whether sand is still inside, and how your Loaders need to access it. A small molded plastic shell with minimal sand is a lighter load than a large wooden frame packed full, so those factors are reflected in your upfront price before you book.
If your sandbox is in a fenced backyard, make sure the gate is unlocked and wide enough for your Loaders to carry materials through. You do not need to empty the sand out beforehand.
Sandbox types and configurations we pick up
LoadUp picks up a wide range of backyard sandbox styles, with or without sand still inside.
- Plastic sandbox shell
- Wooden sandbox frame
- Sand and water table
- Covered sandbox with lid
- Large backyard sandbox
- Corner or hexagonal sandbox
- Sandbox with bench seating

Volume discounts
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.

Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.

Contact usSandbox pickup typically starts around $80, though your final price depends on the size of the sandbox, whether sand is still inside, and the pickup type you choose. A large wooden frame packed with sand will cost more than a small plastic shell with little sand remaining. Curbside pickup is generally priced lower than in-home backyard pickup. You see your exact price before you book, and that number does not change after your Loaders arrive.
No, you do not need to empty the sand before your Loaders arrive. They are equipped to lift and haul the sandbox with sand still inside. Keep in mind that the weight and volume of sand remaining is factored into your upfront price, so a fully packed box will be priced accordingly.
Yes, your Loaders remove the full sandbox along with the sand inside it as part of a single pickup. If you have a wooden frame that needs to be broken down to fit through a gate or out of a tight space, your Loaders can handle that on-site. What they do not remove is sand that has spilled or spread into the surrounding yard beyond the sandbox itself.
Your Loaders can disassemble a wooden or bolted sandbox frame on-site when it is too bulky to carry out in one piece. This is a normal part of the job for larger backyard setups. The one exception is a sandbox that is cemented into the ground, permanently anchored, or built into a fixed structure like a deck, which cannot be removed.
It depends on the pickup type you booked. If you chose curbside pickup, your Loaders can complete the job without you present as long as the sandbox is in an accessible outdoor location. If you booked in-home or backyard pickup, someone needs to be home to provide access to the yard, including unlocking any gates.
Your Loaders make disposal decisions on-site based on item condition and what recycling or reuse options are available locally. The plastic shell or wooden frame is routed toward recycling or reuse when local options allow, but this cannot be guaranteed for every location. Sand is typically disposed of through local waste or fill disposal, and a used backyard sandbox is generally not in condition to be donated.
