Dumpster Rental in Cheltenham, PA
Cheltenham Township borders north Philadelphia and mixes grand older homes in Elkins Park with dense twin and rowhome streets closer to the city line. Our work here is mostly interior renovation, basement and attic clearances in long-held family homes, and roofing across the township’s older housing. The larger Elkins Park properties often justify a 20 or 30-yard.

| 12-yard dumpster | 12ft x 8ft x 4ft | 1 ton or 2,000 pounds |
| 15-yard dumpster | 15ft x 8ft x 4ft | 1 ton or 2,000 pounds |
| 20-yard dumpster | 22ft x 8ft x 4ft | 2 ton or 4,000 pounds |

| 40-yard dumpster | 22ft x 8ft x 8ft | 4 ton or 8,000 pounds |
Placement Across the Township
Elkins Park homes generally have driveway space for any size container. Closer to the Philadelphia border the streets narrow considerably and on-street placement becomes necessary, which requires township approval, worth arranging a few days ahead. We advise on the largest safe size for your specific block.
Cheltenham Pricing
Your quote is a single flat number: container, delivery, collection, disposal and the included weight. Older-home debris is heavy, so describe the material and the price holds. Book through the form above or call 267-394-7733.
Sizes and Accepted Materials
Six roll-off sizes cover every job in Cheltenham, from a 10-yard for a single room to a 40-yard for sustained construction volume. See the dumpster sizes guide for dimensions. General household junk, construction and demolition debris, timber, drywall, metal, furniture and yard waste are all accepted; hazardous material, tyres, asbestos and refrigerant appliances are not. The full list is in our accepted materials guide.
Choosing a Size in Cheltenham
The right container depends on what the job actually produces. For the work we see most often in Cheltenham:
- A 10 or 12-yard fits the twin and rowhome streets near the Philadelphia line.
- A 15-yard covers a basement or attic clearance.
- A 20-yard suits an Elkins Park kitchen or whole-floor renovation.
- A 30-yard handles roofing across a larger Cheltenham property.
If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. The price difference is small next to the cost of a second delivery, and an overfilled container cannot legally be collected.
Common Questions About Cheltenham Dumpster Rental
How is the price calculated?
On container size, the type of debris and how long you need it. The figure we quote includes delivery, collection, disposal and a set weight allowance. Overage is only charged if you exceed that tonnage, and we tell you the limit up front.
What happens on collection day?
Call or book online when you are finished, and we collect on the agreed date. The load goes to a licensed transfer station where recoverable material is separated out before disposal.
