How a Junk Rhinos pickup works in Wilkes Barre
The job starts with a ballpark estimate from a photo or a description, then a firm all-in price confirmed for free on-site before any work begins. You pay after the job is done, once the load is on the truck, with no deposit and no online payment required to book.
There are no hidden fees, and you only pay for the space your load takes up in the truck, not by the hour and not by the item.
On the day of the pickup, the crew does all the lifting, including stairs, heavy pieces, and tight spaces. Floors and walls are protected, and the area is swept before the crew leaves. Same-day and next-day pickups are available in most areas.
- You do: point the crew at what goes, set aside or flag anything being kept.
- You do not: move anything yourself, bag anything, or disconnect appliances.
What 18706 housing means for your cleanout
The median year a home in this ZIP was built is 1957, and about 78 percent of homes went up before 1980. That older stock means more attics, basements, and garages that have spent decades absorbing furniture, appliances, and boxes that no one wanted to deal with.
About 34 percent of occupied homes here are rented, which shifts the workload toward move-outs and landlord turnovers. With about 7,675 housing units and a resident population of about 16,318, the density works out to about 621 people per square mile, so driveways and curb space are tighter than a rural route.
The crew is used to working around parked cars and narrow streets.
Real snowfall splits the year in two: indoor cleanouts through winter, then a heavy outdoor run in spring. With about 36 inches of snow a year and about 45 inches of rain, the outdoor debris season arrives fast once the ground clears.
How 18706 compares with other ZIPs
Wilkes Barre 18706 has about 6 percent mobile or manufactured homes and about 9 percent of homes in buildings of five units or more. That mix of single-family, multifamily, and manufactured housing means the crew sees a wider variety of access points in one day than in a newer, more uniform subdivision.
Rochester, NY 14618 has about 73 percent single-family detached homes and about 24 percent rented, with about 81 percent built before 1980. Port Angeles, WA 98362 is about 72 percent single-family detached, about 33 percent rented, and about 61 percent built before 1980.
East Helena, MT 59635 has about 76 percent single-family detached, about 16 percent rented, and only about 43 percent built before 1980.
The difference in tenure and building age changes when the work clusters, but the volume-based pricing still applies the same way. You pay for the space your load takes, no matter what kind of building it comes out of.
Where your junk goes after it leaves 18706
Loads are sorted on the truck, and usable furniture and goods are donated to local charities. Metal, electronics, and green waste are recycled rather than sent to a landfill.
What cannot be reused or recycled goes to the landfill, and that is a small part of most loads. The crew cannot take hazardous materials, including paint, chemicals, solvents, and asbestos. If you are unsure about an item, ask before the visit.
