The Problem

Getting junk out of the Back Mountain takes some doing

You search online, call the township office, leave messages with a few haulers, and wait. One calls back with a vague estimate, another never does. Weeks go by, and the pile in your garage hasn't moved an inch.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Kingston Township and private trash contracts each set their own limits on bulky items, and the rules can change from one street to the next. Pickup usually has to be requested ahead of time, takes only certain items, and still expects you to drag everything to the road yourself.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't quote until someone drives out to look, then price by the fraction of a truck your stuff fills. You find out what you're paying after the load is on board, which makes it hard to plan around or compare options.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want items they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken pieces often get turned away. Even when they take something, you still have to load it, haul it there, and figure out what to do with whatever they wouldn't accept.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off container can take up your driveway for days, may need approval before it can sit near the street, and you still have to lift every piece into it yourself. For a single attic or spare bedroom, you end up paying for space you never fill.

Vetted Loaders who treat your home with care

Your Loaders carry bulky pieces up narrow basement stairs, under low beams, and around tight landing turns. Each one is background-checked and rated by real locals in Shavertown after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set out by the driveway or carried from inside

If the old patio set is already sitting at the end of your driveway, curbside pickup lets your Loaders load it right from there. Full-service makes more sense when the piece is still in an upstairs bedroom or attic of your Kingston Township home, because your Loaders carry it out themselves.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Shavertown and out across the Back Mountain

Shavertown is a residential suburb where the garage fills up slowly and the to-do list fills faster. Nobody wants to wedge a basement sofa into a hatchback and make repeat runs up and down Route 309. Your Loaders handle the lifting and loading, and they like showing up for neighbors here.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

A sagging sofa or a basement full of old furniture raises the question of where it all ends up. In Shavertown, your Loader sorts each item by condition, so donation or recycling comes first when local options allow.

Gently Used

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods that are clean and in good shape may be donated where available. Your Loader sets those pieces aside during loading. No donation receipt is promised, and acceptance depends on local options.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but still hold usable materials, such as metal frames or certain appliances, may be recycled when possible. Your Loader separates them from the rest as the truck is loaded.

  • Diverted from landfill where possible
  • Compliant with local waste regs

Heavily Damaged

Responsible Disposal

  • No logistics or transport to handle
  • No sorting or drop-off required on your end
  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Shavertown disposal rules most residents don't know

Dumping the wrong material at a township drop-off can lead to a littering fine. Here is how disposal works in Shavertown and Kingston Township, Luzerne County.

Rule 01

Grass clippings left on the road violate township rules

Kingston Township makes it illegal to put grass clippings or yard debris on the roadway because they clog storm drains, raise flood risk, and create slick hazards. Bag them for the compost site, open April 20 through November 30, 2026, weather permitting.

Rule 02

Regular household trash has a two-can limit

Shavertown trash collection runs through the Dallas Area Municipal Authority, known locally as DAMA, and residential service has a two-can limit. A whole-house cleanout can quickly outgrow that allowance, so plan for the extra trash before bags pile up.

Rule 03

Pennsylvania keeps TVs and computer monitors out of the trash

Under the state's Covered Device Recycling Act, televisions, computer monitors, desktop and laptop computers, tablets, e-readers, and computer peripherals such as keyboards and printers cannot go in household trash. Manufacturers must fund recycling programs, so these devices belong at a collection site.

Rule 04

Boxed and labeled stove ashes go out free with your garbage

Coal, wood, and pellet ashes go out at the curb with regular trash at no charge if they are boxed, bagged, and labeled, and they don't count toward the DAMA two-can limit. Dumping ashes at the township compost site brings a littering fine.

Rule 05

Stumps and stained lumber stay out of community compost

DAMA's composting rules ban stumps, rocks, and painted, stained, or pressure-treated wood because the finished compost is spread on residents' homes and gardens. Only clean leaf and yard waste is accepted.

Rule 06

Broken furniture and concrete bring fines at the compost site

The Kingston Township compost site takes yard waste only. It does not accept wood, broken furniture, or construction debris including concrete, and anyone caught dumping these materials there will be fined. Contractors are also barred from dumping at the site or removing mulch.

Not as a standing practice. Shavertown is in Kingston Township, where the Dallas Area Municipal Authority handles residential trash collection. Oversized junk isn't a normal pickup, so check with DAMA about bulk rules before setting anything out.

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

Sometimes, depending on Loader availability along the Route 309 corridor. Enter your address when booking to see live open times. Curbside items can be left out with access notes, but for indoor pickups someone should be home or leave entry instructions.

Hazardous items like paint, chemicals, and batteries generally don't belong in household trash or bulk loads. Large or restricted items can also fall outside standard collection. Ask DAMA what the township accepts, and tell your hauler about unusual items when booking.

Loaders aim to donate usable items whenever possible, with local options such as Goodwill in Hanover Township or the Wyoming Valley Habitat ReStore in Nanticoke. Recyclable materials are sorted out when options allow. What can't be donated or recycled is disposed of properly. Acceptance varies by item.

Pick your items online, enter your Shavertown address, and choose a time window. You see the total before you confirm. On pickup day your Loader typically gives notice before arriving, carries the items out from inside or outside, and loads them.

Pricing model. Traditional haulers such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK and Junk King typically price by truck volume, often confirmed on site. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a full-house cleanout, a truckload hauler can be a better fit.
