Pennsylvania collection guides
Pennsylvania trash pickup by city.
Check a Pennsylvania street address, or open one of the 10 city guides below to see the verified collection day and the source behind it.
What is verified
Pennsylvania collection, measured.
Every day on these Pennsylvania guides is read from the city or hauler that publishes it, last checked on August 17, 2026.
Collection across these cities runs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, which is why no single statewide day is assumed here.
Collection information for these cities is read from 10 local sources: Borough of State College Refuse Collection, City of Allentown Bureau of Recycling and Solid Waste, City of Altoona, City of Erie Bureau of Refuse and 6 more.
Local responsibility
Pennsylvania does not have one statewide pickup day.
Schedules are set locally, so two Pennsylvania addresses can differ in provider, weekday, and holiday rules.
Good to knowTrashDayNow is independent; the local provider remains the authority.
