  • 70% of homes in Alta were built before 1980, against 50% nationally. Doorways, hallways and basement stairs from that era were made for smaller appliances, so measure the path from the appliance to the door and mention any tight spots when you book.
  • 75% of homes in Alta are detached houses, so an old appliance tends to end up waiting in a garage, basement or utility room. That's fine: your Loaders carry it out from wherever it sits.

What to have ready before your Loaders arrive

What happens to your old appliance

LoadUp always tries to donate a working appliance first. Whether an appliance can be donated depends on its condition, your location, and whether a local donation center will accept it.

When no local donation center will accept an appliance, responsible disposal is the priority. LoadUp recycles appliances whenever possible.

Alta FAQs

Booking appliance removal in Alta

Straight answers on price, timing and getting ready for a pickup in Alta, IA.

How much does appliance removal cost in Alta?

Appliance removal in Alta starts at $70 for a small appliance such as a microwave, and every appliance has its own starting price: a washing machine from $85, a refrigerator from $115. A second appliance on the same pickup adds only its add-on price, from +$15, because the service fee is charged once. You see the exact total for your Alta address before you book.

Can I get same-day appliance pickup in Alta?

Often, yes. Same-day pickups are available across the LoadUp network when you book before noon, and availability varies by location, so the booking window shows the times open for your Alta address. Same-day pickup adds $10. If you would rather plan ahead, you can book for the next day or up to 90 days out.

How do I book appliance removal in Alta?

Select Get Instant Price, choose the appliances going out, enter your Alta address and pick a pickup window. You see the exact price before anything is confirmed, and your Loaders arrive in the window you chose.

Will the Loaders come inside my Alta home, or do I leave it at the curb?

Either. With in-home pickup your Loaders carry the appliance out from wherever it sits in your Alta home, including basements, upstairs rooms and apartments. If it is already outside, curbside pickup saves $5 and you can skip the appointment.

Do you cover the rest of Buena Vista County?

Yes. Pickups are available in Alta and across Buena Vista County, and in nearby places such as Storm Lake, Cherokee and Holstein. The LoadUp network covers all 50 states and Washington, DC.

What do I need to do before my Alta pickup?

Every appliance needs to be disconnected before pickup, including electrical, gas, and plumbing connections. Refrigerant must be removed by a certified technician before pickup. This applies only to refrigerators, freezers, wine fridges, ice machines, dehumidifiers and AC units. Clear a path from the appliance to the door, and if you live in an apartment building, check its rules for elevator bookings and move-out hours.
