Where it goes

"We don't just dump."

Six words from their own business description, and the most useful sentence on this website. Here is what they mean by it.

A dumping site off a back road in the area. Photographed by the owners, captioned "BEWARE." This is the alternative to paying for legal disposal.

Why this page exists at all

Every hauler in Pennsylvania will tell you they dispose of things properly. Almost none of them will tell you how. The difference matters here more than in most places: drive any back road in Schuylkill County and you will find somebody's couch, somebody's tyres and somebody's bagged trash in the trees. That pile got there because somebody paid a man with a truck and never asked the next question.

Metal is separated for recycling

"We actively sort for recyclable scrap metals." Appliances, bed frames, railings, water heaters, ductwork, gutters and the metal out of furniture come off the trailer separately and go to scrap. It is listed as one of their specialties on their own profile, and it is a real part of why the price sheet reads the way it does.

A water heater, railings and metal parts loaded separately on site so they go to scrap rather than to landfill.

What can be used again, is

"Salvageable reusable items are properly managed and donated or sold." On estate and residential jobs the usable furniture, tools, kitchenware and household goods come off the trailer before it ever reaches a tip floor. If something in your house is worth saving, say so — they would rather it went to a person than to a landfill.

The rest goes to a licensed facility

What is left — the genuinely dead material — is tipped at a permitted transfer station and weighed. That fee is already inside the price you were quoted, which is exactly why the quote is not cheaper. Cheap quotes in this business usually mean somebody skipped this step.

FAQ

What to ask any hauler, including us

  • Where does the load go after it leaves my driveway?
  • Do you separate metal, or does all of it go in one pile?
  • Are the dump fees inside your quote or added afterwards?
  • Are you insured if something gets damaged on the way out?

If a hauler cannot answer the first one, that is your answer.
