Roll-off containers for Tunkhannock homes and jobsites
Tunkhannock is the Wyoming County seat, sitting in the bend of the Susquehanna that gave the town its Lenape name. The downtown is a genuine historic district of brick and frame buildings, with the restored Dietrich Theater as its centerpiece and the courthouse a block away. It is our furthest regular run to the west, and it is worth it. Projects here include renovations of nineteenth-century houses, downtown commercial refits, flood repair work along the river, farm and outbuilding clearances in the surrounding townships, and roof and siding replacement on properties exposed to Endless Mountains weather.
What we know about working in Tunkhannock
The historic district around Tioga, Pine, Harrison and Wyoming Avenue holds the oldest housing, much of it frame with deep porches, slate or layered shingle roofs and narrow rear yards served by alleys. Beyond the borough the land opens into farms and river bottom, and the regional economy leans on agriculture and the large manufacturing plant downriver in Washington Township. The Susquehanna is the defining feature and the defining risk. Properties along the low ground have flooded before, and cleanup after high water is a recurring job for us, heavy with soaked drywall, carpet, insulation and ruined contents. Bridge Street carries PA 29 across the river, and the great viaduct at Nicholson stands just east of town on the way back toward Scranton.

Getting a truck to you
Our drivers head north on I-81 to exit 194 and run US 6 and 11 out through Clarks Summit, Factoryville and Nicholson, then west on US 6 into the borough, about forty minutes on a clear day. In town the tight spots are the one-way blocks and limited curb space downtown, narrow alleys behind Tioga Street, and low ground near the river that stays soft after high water.
Routes we run: US 6 (the Tunkhannock bypass and Tioga Street), PA 29 (Bridge Street), US 11 / the Lackawanna Trail, PA 92.

Permits, streets and placement in Tunkhannock
On a private driveway in Tunkhannock you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from PennDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Wyoming County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.
Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and PA DEP publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Tunkhannock. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lackawanna County.

Dumpster Rental in Tunkhannock — FAQs
Do you serve Tunkhannock even though it is in Wyoming County?
Yes. County lines do not change our service area, and the run out US 6 is a straightforward one. We deliver across the borough and the surrounding townships on the same terms as our Lackawanna County customers. If you are somewhere remote in the outlying townships, give us a landmark or a nearby crossroads along with the address and the driver will find you first time.
Can a container go in the historic district downtown?
Often yes, with planning. Kerb space is limited, several blocks are one-way and some rear alleys behind Tioga Street are too narrow for anything but the smallest container. We normally recommend a 10 or 15 yard for downtown work, placed early in the day, and we will check with you about borough approval if it needs to sit in the street rather than on private ground.
What do you recommend for cleanup after flood damage near the river?
Go bigger than you think. Water-damaged drywall, insulation, carpet, padding, subfloor and furniture are bulky and become extremely heavy once saturated, so a 20 yard filled with wet material can reach road weight surprisingly fast. Tell us it is flood debris when you book so we size the container for weight rather than volume and schedule prompt swaps.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster to Tunkhannock?
Tunkhannock is about 20 miles northwest of Scranton, so it is a routine run for us. Same-day delivery is usually possible if you call before about 11am, and next morning otherwise. Storm weeks and the spring remodeling peak can stretch that, and we will tell you honestly when you call.
Do you charge extra to deliver to Tunkhannock?
No. Tunkhannock sits inside our standard service area and the flat rate is the same as it is in Scranton. Delivery, pickup, your rental window and disposal up to the agreed tonnage are all included in the number we quote you.
What size dumpster do most Tunkhannock customers take?
A 20 yard is the most common by a wide margin — it suits kitchen guts, multi-room renovations and three-bedroom house cleanouts. But if you are stripping plaster and lath out of a pre-war house, or moving coal-era brick, stone or concrete, size DOWN to a 10 yard heavy container and take two hauls — that material hits the weight limit long before it fills the box.
