City collection Scrap metal is not named by the city, and the county's hard-to-recycle list names appliances among the items it handles without publishing the terms, so loose metal is an unconfirmed item in Johnstown. Neither the city nor the retained county pages publish a scrap metal or appliance disposal price, so confirm whether the item rides the free monthly bulk allowance or goes to the county, and what it costs, before moving the load.
City collection Garbage is collected by Pro Disposal under the city contract, and the city publishes both the bag limit and the rate rather than leaving them to the hauler. There is no city-operated truck on this route. $89.84 for standard service rate every four months, covering a weekly limit of six bags. A senior rate is published for residents aged 65 and over at $80.84 every four months with a four bag weekly limit and proof of age. Service questions go to Pro Disposal on 814-736-3631.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Johnstown collects garbage through Pro Disposal on a published rate card and allows one bulk item a month at no extra charge, but only if the resident calls the hauler first to have it collected. Yard waste and leaves are a Public Works service on request, bagged, boxed or bundled with bundles under three feet and 30 pounds, and Christmas trees go to Roxbury Park by early February. Recycling runs every other week in a city bin and covers plastics one and two, cans, glass without lids and paper, while electronics leave the city entirely: Cambria County recycles televisions and computer equipment along with air conditioners, dehumidifiers and microwaves at its Ebensburg headquarters, for county residents only, by appointment. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Johnstown.
Contracted weekly garbage with a published rate card
Accepted with preparation
Garbage is collected by Pro Disposal under the city contract, and the city publishes both the bag limit and the rate rather than leaving them to the hauler. There is no city-operated truck on this route.
City cost & eligibility
$89.84 for standard service rate every four months, covering a weekly limit of six bags. A senior rate is published for residents aged 65 and over at $80.84 every four months with a four bag weekly limit and proof of age. Service questions go to Pro Disposal on 814-736-3631.
When & how
Weekly on the collection day, with bags curbside by 6 a.m., and recycling every other week on the same day as the garbage.
Get it ready
Keep to the weekly bag limit for the rate class the household is on, set the bags out by 6 a.m., and remember that a holiday in the collection week pushes the pickup to the next day with Saturday pickup available. Collection is unaffected on Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day and the first day of buck season, and during holiday weeks the trash goes out the night before because the landfills close earlier.
Johnstown allows one bulk item per month at no extra charge, and the city is explicit that the resident has to call the hauler's office first to get the item collected rather than setting it out and hoping.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One bulk item per month is allowed with no extra charge under the city's collection programme, provided the household calls the hauler first. Anything beyond that allowance is arranged in advance and may carry a charge.
When & how
On the collection arrangement made by phone, within the one item a month allowance.
Get it ready
Call the hauler before the item goes out, and make arrangements in advance for anything that is not household trash, because the city tells residents to contact Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 before disposing of extra items. Keep the item out of the bag limit for the week.
Johnstown Public Works picks up yard waste, but only on request: the resident has to call the office to schedule the pickup. Christmas trees have their own drop-off window at Roxbury Park.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city presents yard waste pickup and the Christmas tree drop-off as municipal services and publishes no fee for either.
When & how
On the date arranged when the office is called, and Christmas trees by February 2 at Roxbury Park on the Derby Street side lot beside the big blue bins.
Get it ready
Bag, box or bundle the yard waste and place it at the curb, keeping bundles no longer than three feet and no heavier than 30 pounds. Call Public Works to schedule the pickup rather than waiting for a scheduled route, and take a Christmas tree to Roxbury Park before the February date rather than putting it in the trash.
Johnstown does not collect electronics. Cambria County Solid Waste Authority recycles them at its headquarters only, for county residents only, and the list includes televisions and home computer equipment along with air conditioners, dehumidifiers and microwave ovens.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Cambria County residents only, at the authority headquarters during normal operating hours, with no fee published for the electronics it accepts, although the authority states that unloading assistance fees and other fees may apply and that anyone needing help unloading or bringing numerous items must call first for an appointment.
When & how
Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 507 Manor Drive in Ebensburg, with a call ahead required to confirm availability.
Get it ready
Call the authority on (814) 472-2109 before travelling, and call first without exception if the household needs help unloading or is bringing numerous items, because the county requires that. Erase personal data before handover, and keep electronics out of the curbside bin, which is for recycling only and does not take them.
The city publishes no tire route, and the county authority lists tires among the hard-to-recycle items it handles without printing a price or a schedule in the retained bodies, so a tire is a confirmed item rather than a published one.
City cost & eligibility
No tire price is published on the city page or in the retained authority bodies, and the authority's hard-to-recycle list names tires without details, so confirm the location and the fee on (814) 472-2109 before a trip.
When & how
Confirm the drop-off and the price with the county authority before loading the tires.
Get it ready
Keep tires out of the curbside bin and out of the monthly bulk allowance until the hauler confirms it will take them, and call the Cambria County Solid Waste Authority on (814) 472-2109 to ask where tires go and what they cost.
Scrap metal is not named by the city, and the county's hard-to-recycle list names appliances among the items it handles without publishing the terms, so loose metal is an unconfirmed item in Johnstown.
City cost & eligibility
Neither the city nor the retained county pages publish a scrap metal or appliance disposal price, so confirm whether the item rides the free monthly bulk allowance or goes to the county, and what it costs, before moving the load.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then use the hauler's bulk arrangement or the county authority.
Get it ready
Call Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 and ask whether the metal qualifies for the monthly bulk item, and call the county authority on (814) 472-2109 about the appliance side of its hard-to-recycle list. Keep the load out of the recycling bin, which is for the published recyclables only.
Recycling is collected curbside every other week on the same day as the garbage, in a city bin issued when the household registers its address, and the bin is for recycling only.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Curbside recycling is part of the city collection programme with a bin issued on address registration and no separate fee published, while the county drop-off centers at Roxbury Park and the D. St. Ball Field are also free to area residents.
When & how
Every other week on the regular trash day, with the pickup moving to the next day when a holiday falls in the collection week.
Get it ready
Rinse everything before it goes in the bin, and keep trash out of it because the city states the bin is for recycling only. Accepted material is plastics numbered one and two, aluminum, tin and steel food and beverage cans, glass bottles, jugs and jars without lids, newspapers, phone books, magazines, inserts, junk mail and envelopes, while corrugated cardboard is encouraged at the drop-off centers instead.
The monthly bulk item is free but only if the household calls the hauler first, and the city tells residents to call Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 before disposing of anything that is not household trash. Yard waste works the same way, because Public Works schedules the leaf and yard pickup on request rather than running a standing route.
Garbage is limited to six bags a week on the standard rate and four on the senior rate, and it goes curbside by 6 a.m. on the collection day. Recycling runs every other week on the same day in the city bin, which is for recycling only, and every item has to be rinsed before it goes in.
A holiday in a collection week pushes the recycling and trash pickup to the next day, and Saturday pickup is available. Collection is unaffected on Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day and the first day of buck season, and in holiday weeks the trash goes out the night before because the landfills close earlier.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

A county service rather than a city one, with the authority also running the big blue bin drop-off programme at 18 locations for its specified recyclables.
Self-hauling in Johnstown splits between the city and the county. The city side is thin: one bulk item a month free if you call the hauler first, yard waste and leaves by request from Public Works with bundles under three feet and 30 pounds, Christmas trees at Roxbury Park by February 2, and every other week recycling in the city bin, with cardboard better taken to the county drop-off containers at Roxbury Park and the D. St. Ball Field. Used motor oil is accepted free at the Highway Garage on Sixth Avenue in Cambria City on weekdays. The county side handles what the city will not: Cambria County Solid Waste Authority recycles televisions, computers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and microwaves at its Ebensburg headquarters for county residents only, and its hard-to-recycle list names tires and appliances without publishing the terms, so a phone call on (814) 472-2109 settles both the route and the price before a load is built.
