Earlier this week, Junken Monkeys had the pleasure to do a Garage Clean out in Dunmore, PA 18512. The client was amazing, and it was truly an honor to help her out! We were able to donate a lot of the items, and make sure most of the junk was put into the right hands. We care about the community, the environment, and especially the client as much as we care about one another.
The best part of the junk removal in the garage was the after picture. Seeing just how much space the client truly had in the garage left all parties smiling.
When space is at a need, sometimes getting rid of items is the best way to create square footage. The garage was swept nice to make sure that there were no nails or debris that would affect feet or tires, and items kept were put in a nice space to not interfere with doorways or walkways!
If you have a garage that is ready to have a car in it rather than your junk, Junken Monkeys Hauling Company is only a click away!
This is one of the most Frequently asked questions we receive. When we pick up items that are straight trash (no examples needed) we often get the question, “where does it go?” More often than not, you probably have never experienced a land fill. A land fill is where residual garbage goes after it is picked up. Your weekly trash and our trash get married on this trash mountain chapel.
So, what happens here? First off, if you think your trash smells, picture the scent of all the trash in the area getting dumped here, now add rain, heat, snow, ice, mud, and any other outside element that would make the fragrance of garbage worse. It all happens. How do we get to the mountain? Upon arrival, we weigh in on scales that identify how much waste we have. Then we drive up to the top of the dump. The roads are essentially compacted garbage pushed and squished together with different types of machines. We sway and bounce back and fourth as these roads are more often than not flat and may contain trash that may prove to be harmful to the tires. The intricacy of where to dump depends on the day, and how long we are at the landfill is also a gamble. Some days we are in there for 25 minutes, other days we are there for 2+hours. This isn’t always because of what we have in our truck. This may be due to how many people are in line to dump as well as how many trucks can dump at one time. There are times where the space allots for only two trucks to dump at one time, causing a line of 20 plus trucks to be waiting for a spot.

Once we get in a spot, we then back up onto the mountain. Then we hand unload everything into the biggest pile of garbage your eyes can imagine. It traditionally takes us between 30-70 minutes to unload a full truck once parked. After the truck is emptied, we try to sweep out the ground, and proceed back to the weighing station.
After weighing out, we are charged $90/ton. Our truck can traditionally hold up to two ton, which is a LOT of weight. (NOTE: Every land fill is different and prices are only reflective to the Keystone Sanitary Land fill) Once paid, we proceed to the truck wash and then get back into serving our clients.
The best part about the land fill is that going here is included in our value. When our team says that the fees include everything, the land fill is included!
