- You point the crew at what goes; set aside or flag anything being kept.
- The crew does all the lifting, including stairs, heavy pieces, and tight spaces.

Access and weather conditions around 16137
The ZIP code 16137 covers about 108.5 square miles, so driveways here can be long and rural. With a population density of about 114 people per square mile, the crew often travels between properties with plenty of ground to cover. That affects scheduling more than the work itself.
About 17 percent of homes here are mobile or manufactured homes, which means pickups often start at a porch or a carport rather than a garage. About 18 percent of occupied homes are rented, so some jobs are turnovers where the crew clears a unit between tenants.
The crew plans for those conditions and handles them as part of the standard pickup.
Winter here reorders the queue rather than emptying it. Snow and cold can slow access to sheds and side yards, but the crew still works through the season. About 28 inches of snow a year means the crew is used to working around it.
How Mercer compares with other small ZIPs
Mercer's housing mix differs from other small towns. In Chandler, MN 56122, about 90 percent of homes are single-family detached, and about 66 percent were built before 1980. In Haverhill, NH 03765, about 84 percent are single-family detached and about 48 percent were built before 1980.
Naples, FL 34103 is different, with about 28 percent single-family detached and about 13 percent rented. Mercer, with about 73 percent single-family detached and about 18 percent rented, sits between those extremes. The same volume pricing applies either way, because the load size sets the price, not the building type.
Where your junk goes after it leaves 16137
