Steedle Portable Storage rents 16-foot (8×8) containers to Glassboro residents for $150 per month — useful for a house in town, a rental turning over, or a home headed to market. We deliver from our yard at 1152 Crown Point Road in West Deptford, or hold your loaded container at our warehouse there.

How a container is used in Glassboro

Glassboro’s official history page traces the Borough to Solomon Stanger’s glassworks in 1779 and its incorporation as a borough on March 18, 1920. The New Jersey State Normal School opened here in 1923, became Glassboro State College in 1958, and became Rowan University in 1992. The page says Rowan helps shape the town’s character, and that downtown now includes shops, restaurants and cafes, with mixed-use developments and market-rate housing. In a town with a university, a historic downtown and rental housing, the reasons for a container vary, but they tend to be the same few.

1. Clear a house for sale or for new tenants. The Borough’s Housing & Code Enforcement pages list rental licensing, change-of-tenant and resale certificate paperwork. A container gives you somewhere to put belongings while a unit is cleaned, repaired or staged.
2. Renovate without living in a pile. Move one room’s contents into the box and keep the rest of the house usable.
3. Bridge a gap between homes. Load at your own pace, then keep the box in your driveway or let us store it in West Deptford until you are ready.
4. We handle the moving of the box. Steedle delivers it and picks it up. You do not tow or reposition it.

Where the box can sit — and who to call in Glassboro

We place containers on private property whenever we can. We did not find a Glassboro ordinance that names portable storage containers in the Borough code on eCode360, including the zoning chapter’s residential accessory-use rules. Those rules address things like recreational vehicles, boats and commercial vehicles, not containers. Because the code is silent on the subject, we will not guess how the Borough applies other rules to a container. Before any delivery that touches the street or a sidewalk, call Planning & Zoning. The same goes if your lot is unusual.

Driveway or warehouse in Glassboro

In the driveway works for a house where the box can sit clear of the street. Use it for a renovation, a decluttering project before listing, or loading a move over several days. See on-site portable storage.

At our warehouse is the better choice for a rental with no off-street parking, a short drive, or a stretch of time when the property needs to look empty. See off-site portable storage. We also serve nearby Washington Township and Deptford from West Deptford.

What belongs in the box

Furniture, boxed household goods, dorm-style items kept between leases, and renovation contents. Keep out anything illegal, flammables and fuel, propane, perishable food, plants and pets. No interior modifications. Packing and loading are optional.
