How to read the Scranton list

Two of the 11 are based in Scranton itself and the other 9 run out to it from nearby towns. Gary's Dumpster & Hauling Service holds the best rating at 5.0, while Junken Monkeys Hauling Company has the most reviews behind it with 446. Six of the 11 publish a rate on their own site; the rest quote by phone. That split is typical, and it is why the medians here are worth having.

How much does a dumpster cost in Scranton, PA?

Updated regularly. Based on 20 published prices from 6 of the 11 companies serving Scranton.

Size	Median price	Range	Included weight	Included days	Companies
10 yard	$370	$295 to $410	2 tons	7 days	5
15 yard	$395	$329 to $460	ask	6.5 days	3
20 yard	$443	$395 to $560	2 tons	7 days	4
30 yard	$450	$375 to $650	ask	8.5 days	3

Weight and days are the local medians among companies publishing those terms; "ask" means fewer than two local companies state it. Over the allowance bills per ton, so the weight column is the one that separates two similar prices.

These are rates each company publishes on its own website, collected by our crawler and not confirmed with the owner. They're a starting price for the container and the haul. A published rate covers the container and the haul and little else. Overage, permits and extra days are billed separately, so treat these as a floor, not a quote.
