The Problem

Hershey has junk options, just not easy ones

You check the township website, call a couple of haulers, and wait on callbacks that never come. One wants to see the pile first. Another weekend goes by, and the junk is still in the garage.

Free city pickup is great, when it works

Derry Township residents may have some bulk item collection through their trash service, but rules on item limits, scheduling, and what's accepted can change. Appliances, renovation debris, and heavy items often need extra steps. And you still have to drag everything to the curb.

Traditional haulers play pricing games

Many haulers won't give you a price until someone comes out to look, which means booking a visit just to get a number. Then you get charged by the fraction of a truckload, so you don't know the real cost until the truck is already loaded.

Donation centers are picky (rightly)

Donation centers want items they can resell, so stained upholstery, worn mattresses, and broken furniture usually get turned away. You can end up loading your car, driving across the township, and bringing half of it back home.

Dumpster rental is overkill for one room

A roll-off can take up your driveway for days, scuff the pavement, and fill up with your neighbors' trash overnight. You still have to carry everything up from the basement yourself, and you're paying for space you'll probably never use.

Dependable Loaders who handle the heavy part

Narrow basement stairs in an older brick home are routine for your Loaders, who carry each piece up and out. Every Loader is background-checked and rated by real locals in Hershey after each job.

  • Local, vetted Loaders
  • Licensed & insured
Pickup Options

Set it out front or have it carried out

If you've already moved items to the end of the driveway or next to a detached garage, as many people do on Derry Township's larger lots, curbside (outdoor) pickup lets your Loader load up and go. For a packed basement in an older Hershey home or a rental turnover between guests, full-service means your Loaders carry everything out from wherever it sits.

Neighborhoods Served

Serving Hershey, from the Route 422 corridor to the farm roads of Derry Township

Hauling an old sofa to the dump is rough enough without summer visitors turning Route 743 into a crawl. Skip the trip. Your Loader lifts it from the basement, garage, or yard, loads it, and takes it away, because your Loader enjoys showing up for the people who keep this town running.

What Happens to Your Junk

Donation first, recycling second, landfill last

Bulky items pile up fast in Hershey basements, garages, and larger Derry Township lots, so where they end up matters. Your Loader sorts by condition, aiming to keep usable pieces in circulation when local options allow.

Donation Pickup

Furniture and household goods in clean, usable shape may be donated when possible and where local options allow. Your Loader carries them out and sets them aside for a donation channel, with no promises about paperwork.

  • Tax-deductible receipt by request
  • Diverts waste from landfill
  • Free up your space and help a neighbor

Visible Wear

Recycling

Items that are worn or damaged but still hold recyclable material, like metal frames or some electronics, may be recycled where available. Your Loader separates them when possible, since accepted items vary by program.

Heavily Damaged

  • Local disposal fees covered

Local Disposal Rules

The Hershey disposal rules most residents don't know

A refrigerator set out without notice or a television left at the curb can go uncollected, so here are the rules for Hershey under Derry Township and Dauphin County.

Rule 01

Call Waste Management before setting out a refrigerator

Refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and air conditioners contain Freon, so Derry Township requires residents to contact Waste Management before placing them curbside. The Dauphin County Recycling Center also accepts appliances with refrigerant for a per-unit fee, while major appliances without refrigerant are free.

Rule 02

Cleanout trash must be set out where it was generated

Derry Township's solid waste ordinance makes it unlawful to set out waste, including bulky items, that wasn't generated at that address. It's also prohibited to bring waste into the township, or move it between township addresses, to use the collection service or avoid its cost.

Rule 03

Grass clippings are not considered yard waste in Derry Township

Curbside yard waste pickup runs monthly from April through October, and grass clippings are excluded and treated as trash. Use brown paper bags or marked cans, never plastic. The township's Recycling Center also runs a yard waste drop-off on seasonal hours.

Rule 04

Dauphin County's at-home hazardous waste program has ended

Dauphin County ended its household hazardous waste disposal program through Waste Management At Your Door in February 2026. Derry Township's Recycling Center still takes some problem items, including anti-freeze and motor oil kept unmixed, light bulbs and tubes, lighting ballasts, and propane tanks.

Rule 05

Televisions and computers are barred from Pennsylvania trash

Pennsylvania's Covered Device Recycling Act keeps televisions, computers, computer monitors, laptops, and tablets out of household trash, and Derry Township's Recycling Center accepts no electronics. The Dauphin County Recycling Center takes these devices free, but not vacuums, fans, or coffee makers.

Rule 06

Sofas and mattresses must be wrapped in plastic first

Derry Township's Standard Service collects one bulk item per week on the regular pickup day. Fabric items like a sofa, box spring, or mattress must be covered in plastic. Pay as You Throw bag customers don't get this weekly bulk allowance.

Not outside your normal trash service. Derry Township uses an exclusive hauler, WM, which collects trash in a 96 gallon cart or township green bags. Overflow and loose items outside the cart may be charged extra or left behind, so call the township before setting out bulky pieces.

LoadUp pricing for junk removal in Hershey starts at $80, and curbside or driveway pickup takes a flat $5 off. The first item includes the base pickup fee, each additional item is a flat add-on, and the exact total is confirmed before booking. Truckload haulers usually quote by volume.

Sometimes. Availability depends on the Loader schedule near Derry Township that day, and booking earlier in the day improves your odds. Enter your address during booking to see live same-day and next-day openings. For curbside pickups, you don't need to be home.

Yes for one-time cleanouts. The township license rules cover regular residential trash contracts, which go to its exclusive hauler. A junk removal service hauling your items away once is different from weekly collection, but you should confirm that your hauler disposes of items at a permitted facility.

Loaders try to keep usable items out of the landfill by donating furniture and household goods to local charities when options allow. They also recycle metal and electronics depending on acceptance. Items that can't be donated or recycled go to an appropriate disposal facility.

You choose your items online, get a price locked in before anyone arrives, and pick a pickup window. Your Loader calls about 30 minutes before arrival, then removes the items from inside or outside your home. You pay the confirmed total, with no on-site estimate needed.

The main difference is the pricing model. College HUNKS prices by how much truck space your items take, and Junk King offers free estimates. LoadUp prices per item online and confirms the total before booking. For a few items that is often simpler, while a full-house cleanout may suit a truckload quote.
