Bulky items go through your private hauler for an extra fee or self-haul to a permitted facility. Monroe County holds household hazardous-waste and electronics collection events, and Pennsylvania law bans TVs and computers from the trash.
Getting rid of a couch, mattress, or appliance in Monroe County runs through your subscription hauler, usually as a scheduled extra-fee pickup, with refrigerant removed from refrigerators and freezers. Electronics are a legal trap: Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act (Act 108 of 2010) bans televisions, computers, and monitors from landfill disposal and curbside trash, so they must be recycled. The county sponsors periodic household hazardous-waste and electronics collection events for paint, chemicals, and e-waste that cannot go in the trash. Illegal dumping on rural Pocono parcels and back roads is a persistent problem the Solid Waste Management Act penalizes heavily.
Dumping bulky waste on a lot, roadside, or stream instead of using an approved route is a solid-waste violation carrying heavy fines; discarding covered electronics in the trash violates Act 108 of 2010.
