The Problem

Getting rid of junk in Inkerman takes more than it should

You look up the township rules, call a couple of haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. One quote sounds vague, another needs a visit. Weeks go by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Inkerman doesn't run its own trash service, so bulk pickup depends on Jenkins Township or whichever private hauler serves your street. Those programs often limit item types, require advance requests, and expect you to drag everything to the curb yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price it by fractions of a truckload you can't easily judge. The final number can shift on pickup day, leaving you guessing until the truck is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers need items that are clean, working, and ready to resell, so worn furniture, stained mattresses, and older appliances usually get turned away. You still have to load and deliver whatever they accept, and the rest stays your problem.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container means booking delivery and pickup windows, possibly checking permit rules, and giving up part of your driveway for days. In tight Wyoming Valley lots, neighbors notice. You also do all the lifting, even for a single basement's worth of stuff.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Inkerman, Jenkins Township, and the whole Wyoming Valley

Anyone who has tried to wrestle a chest freezer up a narrow basement staircase in an older family home knows it's a two-person job and one good argument. Your Loaders handle the lifting, the stairs, and the hauling, and they genuinely like showing up for neighbors here who've held onto these houses for generations.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Older Wyoming Valley homes hold a lot of heavy furniture and appliances, so where items end up matters in Inkerman. Your Loader sorts what they haul by condition, aiming to keep usable things out of landfills when local options allow.

  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Inkerman disposal rules most residents don't know

A television set at the curb gets left behind, and a backyard burn pile can draw police enforcement. These are the rules that apply in Inkerman and Luzerne County.

Rule 01

Dead car batteries go back to the retailer, not the trash

Pennsylvania prohibits placing lead-acid batteries in household trash, and retailers that sell them are required to accept used ones from customers. Northeast Pennsylvania winters are hard on weak batteries, so buying a replacement is the easiest time to turn in the old one.

Rule 02

Township trash service runs on an annual refuse sticker

Jenkins Township sells yearly refuse stickers at its municipal building. Under the program, the township provides one garbage bin and one recycling bin for each sticker sold instead of selling township bags. A big cleanout can quickly outgrow that two-bin setup.

Rule 03

Burning cleanout debris is banned throughout Jenkins Township

Inkerman sits within Jenkins Township, which has an ordinance banning burning, and the township police department has said it strictly enforces it. Old furniture, scrap lumber, and other cleanout debris need a different disposal route than a backyard fire.

Rule 04

Truckloads of fall leaves are refused at Pennsylvania landfills

Under Pennsylvania's Act 101, landfills and resource recovery facilities cannot accept truckloads made up mostly of leaf waste. After autumn in the wooded Wyoming Valley, raked leaf piles belong in composting or mulching rather than the trash stream.

Rule 05

Televisions and computers cannot go out with household trash

Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act bars trash collection of televisions, desktop and laptop computers, computer monitors, tablets, and e-readers. Jenkins Township has hosted residential electronics recycling events at its municipal building that were open only to township residents.

Rule 06

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers need refrigerant handled before scrapping

Federal Clean Air Act rules require refrigerant to be recovered before appliances like window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and refrigerators are thrown away. Past Jenkins Township recycling events have listed air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and large appliances among acceptable items.

Not unless your trash hauler has approved it. Inkerman is unincorporated and mostly in Jenkins Township, so collection depends on your hauler and township rules. Dumping unapproved items at the curb or elsewhere can count as illegal dumping, so confirm with the township office first.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Inkerman starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. The exact total is confirmed before booking. Truckload haulers usually price differently.

Sometimes. Same-day slots depend on Loader availability around the Pittston and Wyoming Valley area, and they fill up faster on weekends. Enter your address during booking to see which times are open. If you need a specific day, booking a day or two ahead is safer.

Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and batteries usually aren't accepted in regular trash or by haulers. Large items such as appliances or furniture may need a scheduled bulk pickup from your hauler. Check with Luzerne County or your township for hazardous waste drop-off options.

Loaders aim to donate usable items and recycle what they can, depending on acceptance at nearby facilities. Items that can't be reused or recycled go to an appropriate disposal site. Outcomes vary by item condition, so donation or recycling can't be guaranteed for every load.

Not for curbside or driveway pickups, as long as the items are outside and easy to reach. For items inside the home, someone should be there or you can leave access instructions when booking. Your Loader will update you on arrival timing.

You book online, choose what you need removed, and pick a time window for your Inkerman address. Your price is confirmed before you book. On pickup day, a Loader arrives, removes the items, and hauls them away, so you don't have to lift anything.

The main difference is the pricing model. Traditional haulers like 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truckload volume, often with an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is confirmed before booking. For large cleanouts, a truckload hauler may fit better.
