Junk Removal in New Freedom, PA

The borough’s Public Works crew picks up tree limbs on set Tuesdays in April, May, June, September and October. Each pile needs a limb tag from the borough office, the pieces have to be 3 to 6 feet long and no thicker than 6 inches, and they go out loose with the cut ends facing the street. Bundled limbs get skipped. Leaves are collected weekly from the last Monday of October through the first Monday of December, in a loose pile with no bags or tarps.^[9][10][11]

Good program. But a 12-foot limb in July, or a hedge row you ripped out over Labor Day weekend, falls outside both the calendar and the size limits. We load brush, branches and old landscaping straight from where it sits. One line we hold firm on: we’re not arborists. We take limbs and trees that are already on the ground. Standing trees, trimming and stump grinding go to a certified arborist.

With about a fifth of residents 65 or older, plenty of New Freedom houses will change hands after decades with one owner. Do the math on one bulk item a week and a full house takes a year of Fridays, and the kitchen cabinets or basement paneling can’t go at all.^[5][3][6]

A whole-house cleanout with us starts with a room-by-room walkthrough. Anything you flag stays put. Reusable furniture and household goods go to donation drop-offs, the rest gets loaded across as many truck loads as it takes, and we finish broom-clean. If a realtor, an estate attorney or a sibling three states away is part of the plan, we’ll coordinate with them. Most full houses take one full day; a large estate can run two.
