When junk piles up, it gets harder to ignore. Book a quick Avoca pickup, see your price up front, and get your space back without lifting a thing.
You search online, call the borough office, leave messages for a couple of haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague estimate, one never does. Meanwhile, the junk stays put for another weekend.
Municipal pickup schedules can help, but they often limit which items qualify, how many you can set out, and when. Appliances, electronics, and renovation debris may be excluded, and you still have to drag everything to the curb yourself.
Many haulers want to see the job in person before quoting, then price by how much of the truck you fill. You may not know the real cost until the junk is already loaded, which makes planning harder than it should be.
Donating usable items is a good instinct, but donation centers turn away anything stained, broken, or worn out. Old mattresses and tired basement furniture usually don't qualify, and you still have to load and deliver everything yourself.
A dumpster makes sense for a full renovation, not a cluttered garage or attic. You have to plan delivery and pickup, possibly look into street placement rules, give up driveway space for days, and still do all the lifting yourself.

Your Loaders lift that old dresser up a narrow basement stairway and out the door. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Avoca after each job.
If the old grill or worn recliner is already outside in your driveway or by the street, curbside is the simpler fit. If it's still up in the attic, deep in the garage, or tucked away in a long-held family house, choose full-service and your Loaders will go in and carry it out.

Homes here get lived in for generations, and the basements and attics prove it. Old sofas, dusty dressers, and boxes nobody has opened in years don't shrink by waiting. Your Loaders lift, carry, and haul it all out so you don't have to, and they genuinely like showing up for the neighbors who keep these homes going.
Most of what comes out of an Avoca basement or garage doesn't belong in the same pile. Your Loader sorts each item by condition, so usable things may be donated and the rest handled responsibly when local options allow.
Furniture, housewares, and equipment in good, clean condition may be set aside for donation when possible. Your Loader carries these out separately, and availability depends on what local donation options accept at the time.
Items that are worn or damaged but still have usable materials, like metal frames or some electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them from the general load when local options allow.
Heavily damaged, soiled, or broken bulky items, such as ruined couches or water-damaged furniture, go to proper disposal. Your Loader handles the lifting and loading, so you don't have to haul them yourself.
Leave a mattress unwrapped or put a television in the trash, and it stays at the curb uncollected. These are the rules residents follow in Avoca, Luzerne County.
Each residence may set out a single bulk item for collection on the first Monday of the month, and it should not reach the curb before then. Holidays can shift the date, as when Labor Day 2026 moved bulk pickup to Tuesday.
Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act bars computers, laptops, computer monitors, televisions and tablets from household trash, and landfills cannot accept them. Because they contain heavy metals like lead and mercury, manufacturers must fund free recycling through events and mail-back programs.
Wood, toilets, window glass and paint cans are on Avoca's never-accepted recycling list, and regular trash pickup is capped at three bags per residence. Leftovers from a bathroom or window project need a separate disposal route.
The Luzerne County Recycling Office has confirmed there will be no county tire collections. Residents with old tires are directed to check with their own municipality or a local tire dealer to see whether either is accepting them.
The borough will not collect a mattress or box spring at bulk pickup unless it is wrapped in plastic. Wrapping is the resident's job before the first Monday set-out, and a wrapped mattress still counts as the household's one bulk item that month.
The borough runs a voluntary recycling drop-off at its Municipal Garage on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Cardboard must be clean and broken down, and the borough alternates cardboard and paper collection. Food residue or liquids can send a whole load to the landfill.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Avoca starts at $80 for a single item. The first item includes the base pickup fee, and each additional item is a flat add-on charge. Curbside pickup takes $5 off, and the exact total is confirmed before booking.
Often, depending on Loader availability for your address. Entering your zip code during booking shows the live same-day and next-day slots. For curbside pickups you don't need to be home, and for in-home pickups someone should be there or leave access notes.
Yes. Hazardous materials like paint, chemicals, and fuel generally can't go in regular trash or be taken by haulers. Large loads must go to a permitted disposal facility, so dumping on vacant land or roadsides is illegal. Check with your hauler or Luzerne County for current drop-off options.
Loaders aim to donate usable items to local charities and recycle what they can, depending on what facilities accept. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility. Outcomes vary by item condition, so nothing is guaranteed.
Pick your items and your Avoca address online, choose a time window, and see your total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader arrives, removes the items, and hauls them away. Curbside jobs can be left out with access notes, so you don't have to be there.
The pricing model differs. Traditional haulers such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King usually price by truck space, often after an on-site estimate. LoadUp prices per item online, so the total is set before booking. For a few items that can cost less, but a full cleanout may suit a truckload hauler.
Self-hauling can be cheaper if you own a truck and have a small load, since you only pay the disposal fee. A hauler is worth it when you lack a vehicle, have heavy or bulky items, or want to skip the lifting and the trip between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.
