Dumpster Rental in Blakely, PA

Roll-off containers for Blakely homes and jobsites

Ask for Blakely and half the valley will say Peckville, because the borough's commercial center carries that name and always has. Either way it is the same municipality, and we deliver across all of it. Blakely is a comfortable borough to work in: Main Street through Peckville handles the shops, banks and restaurants, while the residential streets running off it hold a wide spread of housing ages. Typical jobs are basement and garage clearances, kitchen and bathroom remodels, siding and window replacement, deck and above-ground pool removals, and small commercial work along the Main Street corridor.

What we know about working in Blakely

Blakely traces back to the 1818 township that eventually spawned half the Mid Valley boroughs, and it is named for a War of 1812 naval commander, which is why an anchor sits at the memorial in town. Housing runs the full range here, from tightly spaced older frame homes near the river to 1960s and 1970s split-levels and ranches on the higher streets, so debris varies from plaster and slate to plywood, drywall and vinyl. The borough recreation complex sits down on the Lackawanna bank, and the river edge streets sit low enough that spring melt matters. Valley View schools serve Blakely alongside Jessup and Archbald. Access is generally easier than in the tighter boroughs downriver, with more properties having off-street parking.

Getting a truck to you

We take Business Route 6 the whole way up the valley through Dickson City and Olyphant into Peckville, which is simple and predictable. When traffic on Main Street is heavy we use the Casey Highway and come down at the PA 247 interchange instead. The main things to plan for are the level crossing of the old rail grade, the narrower older streets off Main, and low river ground during spring melt.

Routes we run: Business Route 6 (Main Street, Peckville), US 6 (Casey Highway), PA 247, Depot Street.

Permits, streets and placement in Blakely

On a private driveway in Blakely you generally do not need a municipal permit. Placement in the public street or right-of-way is a different matter and normally requires approval — from the borough or township where the road is locally maintained, or from PennDOT where it is a state route. Every municipality in Lackawanna County runs its own form and its own lead time, and older streets here often have no off-street parking at all, so plan the permit before you plan the delivery. It is a ten-minute call that saves a week.

Our permit and placement guide walks through the whole process, and PA DEP publishes the Covered Device Recycling Act rules and the other statewide disposal restrictions that apply to every load we haul out of Blakely. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lackawanna County.
