How housing stock varies across Schuylkill County

Schuylkill County is not one kind of place. The resident population of about 143,259 people lives at a density of about 184 people per square mile, which means some towns sit close together while others are spread across open farmland.

A row house in Pottsville has different junk problems than a detached home near Pine Grove.

The age of the housing stock drives much of the work. The median year a home here was built is 1944, and about 80 percent of homes went up before 1980. Older homes accumulate more basement clutter and outdated appliances, which is why estate and appliance cleanouts lead the list of requests.

About 58 percent of homes are single-family detached, while only about 6 percent sit in buildings of five units or more. About 24 percent of occupied homes are rented.

With about 239 new homes authorized in 2024, new construction is a small slice of the county, so the demand for junk removal stays focused on existing properties.

How a Junk Rhinos pickup works across the county

You do not lift, bag, or drag anything to the curb. The Junk Rhinos crew does all the moving, including stairs, heavy pieces, and tight spaces. You just point at what goes and set aside anything you want to keep.

Pricing is based on volume, so you pay for the space your load takes in the truck, not by the hour or by the item. Send a photo or description for a ballpark estimate, then get a firm all-in price confirmed on-site before any work starts.

There is no deposit and no online payment to book, and you pay after the job is done.

• Same-day and next-day pickups in most areas
• No hidden fees
• Floors and walls protected, area swept before the crew leaves
• Fully insured crews in branded uniforms
• Open Monday through Sunday, 7am to 7pm

Where your junk goes after it leaves Schuylkill County

Loads are sorted on the truck, and the destination depends on the category. Usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities, while metal, electronics, and green waste are recycled whenever possible.

Electronics get routed to certified e-waste recyclers, including heavy tube TVs. Metal from appliances and hot tubs is recycled responsibly, and yard waste is composted or recycled. The goal is to keep as much out of the landfill as the material allows.

The crew cannot take hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos. If you are unsure about an item, ask before the visit.
