Dumpster Rental in Taylor, PA

Roll-off containers for Taylor homes and jobsites

Head southwest out of the city along Keyser Avenue and you are in Taylor before the radio changes songs. This is a working borough on the west bank of the Lackawanna, once the home of the Union Coal Company colliery and a string of silk mills, now equal parts old neighborhood and modern distribution space. Jobs we serve here run from garage and shed teardowns to siding and window swaps, deck removals, whole-house clear-outs after a sale, and construction debris off the newer warehouse and light industrial sites. Driveways tend to be a little wider than in the Mid Valley boroughs, which gives us more placement options.

What we know about working in Taylor

Almost all of Taylor sits above worked-out mine tunnels, and long-time owners here think about ground movement the way people elsewhere think about drainage. Housing runs from modest twins and frame singles built for colliery families to post-war ranches and a scattering of newer construction on the Oak Hill rise. Interiors typically mean lath, layered flooring and small doorways, so demolition debris comes out in awkward pieces rather than neat panels. The Riverside School District ties the borough to Moosic, and the Lackawanna River Heritage Trail runs its Taylor stretch along the old rail grade. Down on the river flats the streets are level and easy to work, while the western streets climb toward Pine Hills. Spring high water on the Lackawanna occasionally reshapes a delivery schedule.

Getting a truck to you

Our drivers usually run Keyser Avenue straight out of West Scranton, which drops them onto Taylor's Main Street without touching the interstate at all. When traffic backs up we take I-81 south to the Davis Street exit and cross the river instead. Once inside the borough the constraints are parked cars on the narrower cross streets and a couple of low rail underpasses that a loaded truck has to route around.

Routes we run: US 11 (Main Street), Keyser Avenue, I-476 Turnpike Northeast Extension (Keyser Avenue interchange), I-81 (exit 182, Davis Street).

Permits, streets and placement in Taylor

On a private driveway in Taylor 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 Taylor. County recycling and household hazardous waste dates are published by Lackawanna County.
