Darby Borough bulk trash collection (mattress bagging required by ordinance)
Properties in Darby Borough served by the borough's refuse collection. The borough code makes collection exclusive to its contractor: 'No person except the contractor designated as herein provided shall collect refuse from any other person for ultimate disposal.' Delaware County runs no curbside collection; the county authority directs residents to their municipality.
Conditions and source
Bulk items go out on the second of the week's two regular trash days, with no booking published: 'Bulk Pickup- Thursday' for streets 'beginning with Golf Road through Shetland Drive' (regular trash Monday and Thursday) and 'Bulk Pickup- Friday' for streets 'beginning with Crestview Road through Fern Street' (regular trash Tuesday and Friday). The bagging rule is in the ordinance, not just the hauler's terms: 'A mattress, box spring and/or any upholstered furniture, when placed curbside for bulk trash collection, shall be sealed in a plastic bag. The failure to do so may result in noncollection, imposition of a $100 civil fine, and other penalties that may be imposed pursuant to this article and applicable law' (Chapter 240, Article I, added 8-19-2015 by Ord. No. 772). The borough office is at 1020 Ridge Avenue, 610-586-1102, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.
Not confirmed: No charge is published for bulk collection and the borough does not state that it is free.
Not confirmed: No limit is published on the number of bulk items per collection day.
Not confirmed: The borough's contracted hauler is not named on its trash page.

What Delaware County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Darby and its neighbors.
- The Delaware County Solid Waste Authority (610 East Baltimore Pike, Media PA 19063, 610-892-9620) states that 'DCSWA owns two transfer stations in Delaware County and a landfill in Berks County for registered haulers to deliver waste'. The three facilities are Transfer Station 1, Transfer Station 3 and the Rolling Hills Landfill in Berks County. The Authority's facility pages do not offer a resident self-haul drop-off, and no residential rates are published. Source Not confirmed: No street addresses, hours or resident rates are published for the two transfer stations or the landfill
- The Delaware County Solid Waste Authority states 'DCSWA does not provide curbside collection of trash. Waste collection is coordinated through your municipality,' and tells residents to 'Contact your municipal office with any questions regarding special waste (for example, large items, furniture, tires, yard waste, etc.).' There is therefore no county bulky-item collection and no county drop-off for mattresses; the county runs registration-based household hazardous waste events instead. Source
