Swarthmore is a college borough of tree-lined streets and older colonials wrapped around Swarthmore College, just off Baltimore Pike in central Delaware County. The tight, walkable street grid decides most placements here.
Every rental includes delivery, pickup, disposal and the listed weight allowance in one flat price. Use the form at the top of this page for a firm quote, or call (267) 394-7733.
What Local Jobs Put in Our Containers
Renovations of the borough’s early-1900s homes dominate the work: plaster and lath, cast-iron radiators and original flooring, all heavy debris that passes 2 tons faster than it fills a box. We usually size these jobs by weight and place a 10 or 15-yard on the driveway apron rather than a bigger box on a narrow street.
College-adjacent rentals turn over each summer, and landlords book 10-yards for the clear-outs. For the bigger renovations we schedule delivery outside school drop-off hours; the walking routes to the elementary school run right through the placement streets.
Not sure what your load weighs? The weight calculator converts square footage of plaster, shingles or carpet into tons, and the sizes guide shows every container’s dimensions.
Pricing
This area uses the Delaware County rate table. The quote you get is the price you pay: delivery, pickup, the rental period, hauling and disposal are all included, and the standard rental is 14 days with extra days charged per day.

Delivery, Pickup and Placement
Book before noon and same-day delivery is available Monday through Saturday, with pickup within 24 hours of your request. The truck needs 10ft of width, 23ft of straight length and 14ft of overhead clearance to set a container down, and on block paving we lay boards under the rails at no charge.
What You Can Put In
General household junk, construction and demolition debris, timber, drywall, metal, furniture and yard waste are all accepted. Hazardous material, tires, asbestos, refrigerant appliances and electronics are not, and heavy debris such as concrete or soil needs its own container. See the full accepted and prohibited materials guide for the complete lists.
Permits
Driveway placements need no permit. The borough controls its own right-of-way, so street placement runs through Swarthmore Borough Hall; confirm before your date and allow a few days for processing.
