Service and pickup

What area do you serve?

We serve the Greater Scranton area, including all of Lackawanna County and parts of Luzerne County. Enter your ZIP code on our homepage to confirm service at your address.

How do I sign up?

Enter your address and ZIP code on our website and sign up online in a few minutes, or call our office at 570-545-6151.

What day is my pickup?

Pickup days are set by address. After you sign up, your welcome email will include your pickup day.

When should my cart be at the curb?

Please put your cart out the night before pickup. If wildlife or local rules make that impractical, put it out as early as possible on pickup day. Our trucks start at 5 a.m.

What is the holiday schedule?

If your pickup falls on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, your pickup moves to the next day.

What if my pickup was missed?

Call our office at 570-545-6151 or report a missed pickup and we'll get it scheduled.

I'm moving. How do I stop or transfer service?

To transfer service, send us a message with your move date and new address. To cancel, complete the cancellation form and allow up to 30 days for service to end. Service is billed monthly, so the full monthly rate applies to any month you receive service.

What goes in the cart

What items are not allowed?

Lithium-ion and other batteries; construction materials such as brick, stone, wood, concrete, shingles and cement; paint and other hazardous materials; small appliances such as computers and TVs; hot ashes; and landscaping debris, dirt or soil.

Can I put out extra bags or bulk items?

Yes. Extra bags and bulk items can be picked up. Call our office at 570-545-6151 for pricing.

Do you offer recycling?

Not at this time. We'll offer recycling once we can do it at an affordable rate and make sure the material is actually recycled rather than sent to a landfill.

Which cart size should I choose?

Most households of 1 to 2 people use the 35 gallon can, 2 to 4 people the 65 gallon can, and 5 or more the 95 gallon can. Every account includes a second container.
