Roll-off containers for Moosic homes and jobsites
Moosic is the stretch of the valley where the old borough and the new regional economy sit side by side. Along the river you have the original Greenwood and lower Moosic streets built for miners and mill hands. Up the hill you have the ballpark, the ski mountain, the golf club and the shopping and office development that came with them. Our containers land in both. On one call it is a basement and garage clear-out at a 1920s double; on the next it is a retail fit-out, a hotel refresh or roofing debris from a commercial building. The borough's spread-out layout gives us good access most of the year.
What we know about working in Moosic
The lower borough near the Lackawanna carries typical valley housing, frame doubles and singles with slate or layered asphalt roofs, small yards and tight side setbacks. Climb toward Montage and the picture changes completely: subdivisions from the 1990s onward, wide driveways, attached garages and finished basements, which means renovation debris here skews toward drywall, cabinetry and flooring instead of plaster and coal ash. Moosic shares the Riverside School District with Taylor, and the corridor employs heavily in manufacturing, media and distribution. Montage Mountain Road is a serious grade, and in a snow event we plan deliveries around it rather than through it. Event days at the ballpark and the amphitheater also change how and when we can get a truck into that end of town.

Getting a truck to you
It is a straight shot for us: south through Scranton to I-81 and off at exit 182 for Montage Mountain Road and Davis Street, or down Birney Avenue on US 11 when the address is on the river side of the borough. The hill sections need a dry approach for a loaded truck, and the older Greenwood streets have short driveways where we back in from the road rather than turning around on site.
Routes we run: I-81 (exit 182, Montage Mountain Road), US 11 (Birney Avenue), Montage Mountain Road, PA 502.

Permits, streets and placement in Moosic
On a private driveway in Moosic 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 Moosic. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lackawanna County.

Dumpster Rental in Moosic — FAQs
Can you deliver near the ballpark on a RailRiders game day?
We can, but we prefer to schedule those drops early in the morning. Once gates open, traffic on Montage Mountain Road and the surrounding lots makes maneuvering a roll-off truck slow and awkward for everyone. Tell us the game schedule when you book a commercial project in that area and we will build the delivery and pickup around it.
Do you serve the newer developments up Montage Mountain Road?
Regularly. Those homes have the driveway room we like, and most projects up there are kitchen remodels, basement finishing, deck rebuilds and roof replacements. The one thing we plan for is winter. That grade holds ice, so between December and March we may ask for a morning slot when the road has been treated and the driveway is clear.
What container suits a basement clear-out in the Greenwood section?
A 15 yard usually does the job. Those older houses have deep but narrow basements, so the material comes up in small loads by hand rather than by wheelbarrow, and people rarely fill more than that in a weekend. If you are also taking out an old oil tank surround, block or a cracked concrete floor, talk to us first because that changes the weight picture.
How quickly can you deliver a dumpster to Moosic?
Moosic is about 5 miles south of Scranton, so it is a routine run for us. Same-day delivery is usually possible if you call before about 11am, and next morning otherwise. Storm weeks and the spring remodeling peak can stretch that, and we will tell you honestly when you call.
Do you charge extra to deliver to Moosic?
No. Moosic sits inside our standard service area and the flat rate is the same as it is in Scranton. Delivery, pickup, your rental window and disposal up to the agreed tonnage are all included in the number we quote you.
What size dumpster do most Moosic customers take?
A 20 yard is the most common by a wide margin — it suits kitchen guts, multi-room renovations and three-bedroom house cleanouts. But if you are stripping plaster and lath out of a pre-war house, or moving coal-era brick, stone or concrete, size DOWN to a 10 yard heavy container and take two hauls — that material hits the weight limit long before it fills the box.
