Portable Storage Rentals in Woodbury Heights, NJ

Woodbury Heights has no ordinance that names portable storage containers, but it does have a street rule that matters if your container would sit on the road overnight. Steedle Portable Storage rents a 16-foot (8×8) container for $150 per month, delivered from our yard at 1152 Crown Point Road in West Deptford. Under Borough Code § 94-43, no container may be placed or stored in a roadway between sunset and sunrise, with an exception for public emergencies, and the fine can reach $500 per occurrence. A driveway placement stays outside that rule as the text reads. Call (856) 848-4854 for a free estimate. Family-owned since 1918.

What we found, and what we did not

We read the Borough of Woodbury Heights Code on eCode360 and the Borough’s website. We did not find an ordinance that names portable storage containers. Chapter 94 (Streets and Sidewalks) does have an article, Article V, titled “Placement of Certain Trailers and Containers on Public Roadways” (adopted 12-14-05 as Ord. No. 22-2005). It does not mention PODs or storage units by name, but it defines a “container” broadly.

• Purpose (§ 94-41): to restrict the placement of certain trailers and containers within the improved portion of public roadways.
• Definition (§ 94-42): a container is “any vessel, structure, can or other device used or capable of use for the placement of trash, refuse, vegetative waste, equipment or materials,” except the Borough’s trash and recycling carts. A roadway is any state, county or municipal street, including the improved right-of-way.
• Restriction (§ 94-43): no person may place, store or locate a container within a Borough roadway between sunset and sunrise, except in public emergencies, whether or not the container is being actively loaded or unloaded.
• Enforcement (§§ 94-44, 94-45): by the Woodbury Heights Police Department, with a fine up to $500 per incident.

The text does not say “portable storage,” so we can’t tell you for certain how the Borough applies it to a rented unit. A storage container is something “capable of use for the placement of … equipment or materials,” so planning as if it applies is the safe approach. In practice that means keeping the container off the street.

Read the Article: Borough Code Chapter 94, Article V (eCode360).

Permit, fee and form

Because we found no portable-storage ordinance, there is no permit, fee, duration limit or application form that we can point to, and no direct form link to give you. The Borough’s code has a separate dumpster-related provision in its land development chapter (refuse containers and dumpsters), and Chapter 59 covers solid waste and recycling containers, but neither is a portable-storage permit. We did not find a rule on how long a container may stay on a private driveway, or a setback for it. Because the Code does not speak to it, call the Borough before you order.

Questions to ask: Does a container on a private driveway need any approval? Is there a time limit? Does the Borough treat a rented storage unit as a “container” under Article V?

Choosing driveway or warehouse

The night-time ban is the deciding fact. If you can put the container on your own driveway, off the road, you avoid Article V entirely as written. See on-site portable storage and our guides for a move or a renovation.

If the only spot is the street, a daytime-only drop doesn’t work for storage, because the container stays overnight. That is when off-site storage at our West Deptford warehouse is the better fit, and it also suits a long decluttering project. We also serve nearby Deptford and Woodbury.

What belongs in the box

Think furniture, mattresses, boxed belongings, tools and the overflow from a garage or spare room. The box is not the place for anything illegal, flammables and fuel, propane, perishable food, plants or pets, and the interior cannot be modified. If you want loading help, packing and loading are available as an option.

Woodbury Heights portable storage: common questions

Does Woodbury Heights have a portable storage container ordinance?

We did not find one that names portable storage containers. Borough Code § 94-43 restricts containers in roadways overnight, and its definition is broad.

Can I leave a container on the street overnight?

No, not under § 94-43 as written. No container may be placed or stored in a roadway between sunset and sunrise, except in a public emergency. The fine can be up to $500 per incident.

Do I need a permit for the driveway?

We did not find a permit requirement for private driveways or any fee. The Code does not address it, so call the Borough at (856) 848-2832 to confirm.

Who enforces the roadway rule?

The Woodbury Heights Police Department, under § 94-44.

Is there a limit on how long the container can stay?

We found none in the Borough Code. Ask the Borough about any limit before you order.

What if there is no room on my property?

Steedle can store your packed 16-foot (8×8) container at our West Deptford warehouse for $150 per month, so nothing sits on the street.
