About Pittsburgh Junk Company

Ten minutes from the tunnel, Mount Lebanon sits up on its ridge with the city just over the hill — close enough that a bad night of snow stops both at once. Pittsburgh Junk Company runs the plow through here when it does: the long driveways off Cochran Road, lot aprons, the turnarounds that have to be open before anybody leaves for work. Wet Ohio Valley snow packs hard and takes weight to move, so the passes go early and often rather than once and late. Blade work, shoveled entries, salt down the pitch of the drive. By sunup the pavement is dark again and the day can start.
