How conditions vary across Lackawanna County
Lackawanna County is mostly suburban in shape, but the housing stock differs noticeably from one end to the other. The county has about 458.9 square miles of land, and the population density of roughly 470 people per square mile is not spread evenly.
Scranton holds the densest pockets with multi-unit buildings, while outlying boroughs lean heavily toward single-family homes. About 65 percent of homes countywide are single-family detached, a share that climbs in the smaller towns.
About 8 percent of homes sit in buildings of five units or more, and those concentrate around the urban core.
The age of the housing matters for junk removal. The median home here was built in 1955, and about 75 percent of homes went up before 1980. That older stock means more attics, basements, and garages filled over decades, and more appliances reaching the end of their service life at once.
Only about 4 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, and about 250 new homes were authorized in 2024, so new-construction debris is a smaller share of the work.
How a Junk Rhinos pickup works in Lackawanna County
The job starts with a ballpark estimate from a photo or description. You get a firm all-in price confirmed for free on-site before any work begins, and the price is based on the volume of space your load takes up in the truck.
You pay after the job is done, once the load is on the truck. No deposit and no online payment are required to book, and there are no hidden fees. The crew does all the lifting, including stairs, heavy pieces, and tight spaces, so you do not move anything yourself.
- Point the crew at what goes; set aside anything being kept.
- Floors and walls are protected, and the area is swept before the crew leaves.
- Crews are fully insured and arrive in branded uniforms.
- Same-day and next-day pickups are available in most areas.
Where your junk goes after it leaves Lackawanna County
Loads are sorted rather than dumped in one pile. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, while metal, electronics, and green waste are routed for recycling.
Electronics go to certified e-waste recyclers, and metal from appliances is recycled responsibly. Yard waste is composted or recycled when possible. The goal is to keep as much as possible out of the landfill.
The crew cannot take hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos. If you are unsure about an item, ask before the visit.
