Few towns have a founding story as clear as Hershey's. A candy maker planned it, built it and gave its workers homes with modern comforts. Those houses are still part of a town now shaped just as much by a major medical center.

A company town and a medical center

Hershey is an unincorporated community in Derry Township, about 14 miles east of Harrisburg. Milton S. Hershey built it as a company town, and its worker homes had electricity, indoor plumbing and central heating. Derry Township itself goes back to 1729, but after the chocolate factory was built in 1903, about 15 years of construction turned the area into a model industrial town.

U.S. Route 422 runs through the center as Chocolate Avenue, and the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues is considered the town center. The other big influence is Penn State's Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, founded in 1963 as the site of the Penn State College of Medicine, which enrolled its first students in 1967.

What Hershey homes need from a cleaning

In the Hershey census area, about 48 percent of homes are detached houses and about 46 percent of occupied homes are rented. That is an unusual balance, with established family homes on one hand and a good number of rentals on the other, including those used by people working or training at the medical center.

Detached houses have more entries and floors to keep up with, so a bi-weekly Recurring House Clean often fits. Older homes may benefit from starting with a One-Time Deep Clean, with hand washed baseboards and wiped fans and vents. If a home was built before 1978, the EPA says it is more likely to have lead based paint, so mention any chipping surfaces before a visit.

Rentals turn over regularly. Pennsylvania requires a landlord to return a deposit or provide a written list of damages within 30 days after the lease ends. A One-Time Moving Clean, including the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets, is the service built for that moment.

Allergies, and trash in Derry Township

A Penn State Health allergist in Hershey is the local voice on pollen. Tree pollen can start as early as the first week of March, grass rises through April and May, and ragweed runs from early fall until the first frost. The advice is practical: do not sleep with windows open and change central air filters regularly. The seasonal calendar places these in order.

Derry Township's standard trash service includes weekly curbside trash and recycling, one bulk item a week, and monthly yard waste pickup from April through October. Sofas and mattresses must be wrapped in plastic. A cleaner cannot remove those things for you, so handle them before a move-out clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hershey Cleaning Questions,
Answered Directly

Yes, the plan covers Hershey and Derry Township, about 14 miles east of Harrisburg. Homes along Chocolate Avenue and in Palmyra are also included in the plan, and prices come from the same tables by home size.
It may. Tell your cleaner about any original wood, old tile or finishes you treat in a particular way. Mention chipped paint in a home built before 1978, since the EPA says those homes are more likely to have lead based paint. Cleaning cannot correct that hazard.
Yes, anyone moving can. About 46 percent of occupied homes in the Hershey census area are rented, so lease ends are common. Book the clean after your things are gone, and keep the receipt and dated photos. Pennsylvania's 30 day rule then applies to your deposit.
Standard service includes one bulk item a week, and sofas and mattresses must be wrapped in plastic. Check with your hauler or the township for your pickup day. Your cleaner cannot take those items away, so clear them before any visit if you want those spots cleaned.
