Wilkes-Barre, PA trash pickup by address.

Garbage has to be at the curb by early morning on your scheduled day, and the deadline shifts an hour earlier during the warm-weather stretch of the year.

Stickers must be turned toward the street so DPW crews can see them.

Bag weight is capped — small blue bags at 15 pounds, stickered large bags at 30 — and ashes, stone, dirt, bricks, rugs, tires, construction materials, appliances and furniture are refused with regular garbage.
