Yard Waste Dumpster Rental across Lackawanna County
Outdoor projects make debris in bursts. A storm brings down branches and limbs; a landscape renovation pulls out shrubs, mulch and plant beds all at once; tree trimming or removal leaves branches and logs; a spring or fall cleanup fills bag after bag. A yard waste dumpster on the driveway takes all of it, with no bags and no repeated trips.
Two things shape the job. Keep the load green: tree branches and limbs, leaves and grass clippings, bushes, shrubs and hedge trimmings, soil, sod and mulch, weeds, roots and plants, and small stumps all go in; treated, painted or pressure-treated wood, plastic planters, fertilizers or chemicals and bagged household trash stay out. And yard waste is light until it is not: soil, sod and wet leaves are heavy, so we size for the mix. For mixed materials, call and we help you choose the right option.
At a glance
What you get with yard waste dumpster rental

- Same-day and next-day delivery options

- Taken to local facilities for recycling or composting when possible
- Recurring pickups for contractors and landscapers
Storm cleanup, tree work and landscape renovations
Storm cleanup is the big one. Severe weather can leave fallen trees, branches and debris across a yard in an afternoon, and a 20 yard on the driveway takes a tree removal or storm cleanup in one go. Cut long limbs to size so they load flat and stay below the top rim.
Landscape and tree jobs are the planned version: landscape renovations, tree trimming and removal, spring and fall cleanups, and property maintenance before a sale or rental turnover. Large property clearing and commercial landscaping go in a 30, and contractors and landscapers can set up recurring pickups.
Soil, sod and the weight line
Branches, brush and hedge trimmings are light. Soil, sod and wet leaves are not. A 20 of brush is nowhere near its weight allowance; a 20 heaped with soil can be well over it. Tell us the mix and we will size it - for most homes a 15 or 20 for the green waste and, if there is a lot of soil, a smaller box alongside. Keep the load clean: yard waste kept free of trash and treated wood can go to local facilities for proper recycling or composting when possible.

Yard waste - the local specifics
Most places around Scranton collect yard waste on a schedule, and a schedule has limits. In Scranton, City Code § 400-29 says brush, leaves and yard waste go to the curb at designated collection times, and businesses must recycle leaf waste under the City's commercial recycling rules. Taylor picks up yard waste each Monday and bans plastic bags for it; Throop picks up leaves and grass every Monday and takes bundled brush no longer than 2 feet with the trash; and Olyphant collects grass and leaves on set Mondays from May to October and says "The landfill will not accept any Grass/Leaves". Moscow's yard waste area is for Borough residents only, with no contractors. A container is for the pile that is bigger, heavier or sooner than any of that. The home cleanout guide covers planning a big clear-out, and the what can and cannot go in guide explains what has to stay out of a green load.
Answers
Yard Waste Dumpster Rental — your questions answered
Not covered here? Call (570) 354-0618 and ask.
Do I need to bag the brush?
No - no bags and no repeated trips. Load it as it comes, cut long limbs to size, keep everything below the top rim, and keep bagged household trash and treated wood out of it.
Can I put dirt in a yard waste dumpster?
Yes - soil, sod and mulch are accepted. Soil is heavy, so it goes in a smaller box or its own load within the weight limit. Tell us it is part of the job when you book and we plan the loads.
Can I put a whole tree in?
Cut to size, yes - branches, limbs and small stumps are fine. Big pieces are heavy, so tell us about them and we help you stay within the weight limit.
How fast after a storm can you deliver?
Same-day or next-day is often available, depending on availability - call early in the day for the best chance. If the week after a storm is busy, we tell you honestly when to expect the container.
Can I mix yard waste with other debris?
Keep it green where you can, so it can go for recycling or composting when possible. If you have mixed materials, call and we help you choose the right dumpster option.
