Dumpster rental in Yardley, PA

Yardley Borough is small: under a square mile along the Delaware, with about 2,400 residents. Lower Makefield Township wraps around it on three sides, and the Post Office gives a large share of Lower Makefield addresses the town name Yardley. So two neighbors with Yardley on their mail can be dealing with two different governments.

On the street, the borough handles borough streets and Lower Makefield handles its own, from the township building on Edgewood Road. For a driveway, we check whichever one applies against your address when you book. Give us your street and we will tell you which side of the line you are on.

The Delaware Canal and its towpath cut through the borough from northwest to southeast, and the neighborhoods between the canal and the river sit low. Those blocks took on water in the river floods of 2004, 2005 and 2006, and the canal has spilled over in heavy rain since. If you are on the river side of the canal, keep an eye on the forecast while a container is at your house.

The historic core around Main Street and the canal has narrow lots and older homes close to the sidewalk. Much of Lower Makefield is the opposite: larger lots, longer driveways and room to set a 20 yard well back from the road.

In the borough, renovations of older homes and cleanup after high water. In Lower Makefield, kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishing, deck replacements, and the big garage and attic cleanouts that come when a family that has been in the same house for thirty years gets ready to move.
