Scrap metal removal in Johnstown: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.
Reviewed · Sources below
One bulk item a month, booked by phone
Accepted with preparationJohnstown 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.
Scrap metal and appliances
Special rules applyScrap 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.
The handoff matters
Right item.
Right place.
Call before anything out of the ordinary goes out
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.

Before you book
A few things
worth knowing.
Scrap metal removal, from your photo request to the pickup plan in Johnstown.
How do I request a scrap metal pickup quote?
Text photos to (844) 879-0892 with your ZIP code, approximate amount and access details. Show the whole pile and a closer view of the material. Our team will confirm the scope, quote and scheduling.
Do you buy scrap metal or pick it up for free?
This is a request for a paid removal quote, not a scrap-buying or free-collection offer. If you want to sell metal, ask a local recycler about its accepted materials and delivery requirements.
How much does scrap metal removal cost?
This service uses a custom quote. Send photos, the approximate amount, your ZIP code and access details. Our team confirms the scope and price before booking; there is no fixed-price catalog item for this pile.
Can you collect it today?
Tell our team your preferred day when you request the quote. Timing depends on the material, amount and access, and is confirmed with your quote. Sending photos does not reserve same-day pickup.
How many bulk items can I put out in Johnstown?
One a month at no extra charge, and you have to call the hauler's office first to get it collected rather than simply setting it at the curb. For anything that is not household trash, the city asks residents to call Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 to make arrangements before disposal.Official guidance
Where does scrap metal go in Johnstown?
There is no published city route. Ask Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 whether the metal can go out as the free monthly bulk item, and ask Cambria County Solid Waste Authority on (814) 472-2109 about the appliances on its hard-to-recycle list, because neither page prints a scrap metal price.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Johnstown?
Pro Disposal collects garbage under the city contract, and the city publishes the rate and the bag limit rather than leaving them to the hauler: a standard rate every four months for six bags a week and a senior rate for residents aged 65 and over with a four bag limit. Service questions go to Pro Disposal on 814-736-3631.Official guidance
Do I need to call before putting out a large item?
Yes. One bulk item a month is allowed with no extra charge, but the city requires the household to call the hauler's office first to get it collected, and it asks residents to call Pro Disposal on 814-487-7033 before disposing of anything that is not household trash. Yard waste works the same way, scheduled by request through Public Works.Official guidance
Where do electronics and tires go in Johnstown?
To Cambria County Solid Waste Authority. Electronics including televisions, computers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and microwaves are recycled at the Ebensburg headquarters on Manor Drive for county residents only, weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with a call ahead on (814) 472-2109. Tires and appliances are on the authority's hard-to-recycle list without published terms, so the same call settles where they go and what they cost.Official guidance
