Exercise Equipment Removal in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Starting at $79. Additional items from $19.
Old treadmills, ellipticals, and exercise bikes are among the hardest items to get rid of because they're heavy, bulky, and hard to transport.

Does Bethlehem pick up exercise equipment?
Bethlehem is the rare Pennsylvania city with no municipal trash collection at all — and the free city drop-off at Theis/Cornfeld explicitly refuses every appliance with refrigerant. If you have a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, or window AC, the city’s plan for you is a private hauler or a weekday drive to Allentown or Northampton. Dropcurb is $134 flat for a fridge or washer at the curb (the $25 refrigerant fee is baked in), $79 base, and same-day when you book before 12:00 PM. Curb it tonight, photo by text when it’s gone.
City program details: No municipal trash or bulk pickup. The City of Bethlehem runs only biweekly curbside recycling on an A/B route (call (610) 865-7082 opt. 3 to confirm your day). Washers, dryers, ovens, and stoves can drop free at Theis/Cornfeld Recycling Center (635 Illick’s Mill Road, Tue–Sat 10 AM–4 PM); the facility explicitly refuses dishwashers, AC units, refrigerators, freezers, and any appliance that uses freon. The only city curbside-bulk event of the year is Spring Yard Waste (June 1–12, 2026), and it does not include appliances.
Under City Ordinance #3821, Article 933.04, recycling is mandatory in Bethlehem — but trash is not a city service. Every Bethlehem address pays a private licensed hauler for garbage, and the only curbside-bulk event the city runs is Spring Yard Waste (June 1–12, 2026), which excludes appliances. The free white-goods path is the Theis/Cornfeld Recycling Center at 635 Illick’s Mill Road (Tue–Sat 10 AM–4 PM), which takes washers, dryers, ovens, and stoves at no charge but explicitly refuses dishwashers, AC units, refrigerators, freezers, or any appliance that uses freon. Bethlehem Landfill at 2335 Applebutter Road won’t take white goods either; its rate sheet routes refrigerant units and electronics to GER Solutions and AERC/Clean Earth in Allentown and DRC Technologies in Northampton. Pennsylvania’s Covered Device Recycling Act (Act 108 of 2010) puts TVs, monitors, and computers under the same statewide landfill ban. That leaves a Bethlehem household with one of three legitimate paths for a refrigerator: hire a hauler, find a refrigerant-certified processor an hour away during weekday business hours, or pay the Allentown franchises of 1-800-GOT-JUNK ($150–$200+ on-site), College Hunks Hauling Junk ($150–$800+ volume), or Junk King ($389+ minimum) after an in-home estimate.
Dropcurb picks up exercise equipment same-day in Bethlehem for $159 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Bethlehem’s free appliance drop-off refuses every fridge, freezer, AC, and dishwasher.
Theis/Cornfeld Recycling Center takes washers, dryers, ovens, and stoves at no charge — but its city-published intake list explicitly refuses any appliance that uses freon. Bethlehem Landfill won’t take white goods at all. The default plan for a refrigerator in Bethlehem is a weekday trip to GER Solutions or AERC/Clean Earth in Allentown, DRC Technologies in Northampton, or a $150–$389+ minimum to the Allentown franchises of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, Junk King, or College Hunks after an in-home estimate. Dropcurb is the same-day curbside lane.

What happens to your exercise equipment after pickup
Exercise equipment is primarily recycled for scrap metal — treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines contain significant amounts of steel, aluminum, and copper. Motors from treadmills and ellipticals are separated for copper recovery. Plastic housings and rubber components are processed separately. Equipment in working condition may be donated to community centers, schools, or resold through secondhand fitness equipment dealers. Non-functional equipment is broken down at scrap facilities.
Why Bethlehem residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal
Dropcurb is built for the exact gap Bethlehem residents fall into — the appliance Theis/Cornfeld won’t take, on a timeline that does not wait for a weekday trip across the Lehigh River. Fridges, freezers, dishwashers, AC units, and washers are $134 flat, with the $25 refrigerant or recycling fee already baked into the price so the receipt does not show it as a separate line item. Stoves, dryers, and ovens that you could drop yourself at Theis/Cornfeld are $79 base when you would rather skip the truck rental and the Tuesday–Saturday window. Book in about 60 seconds, no in-home walkthrough, same-day before 12:00 PM and curb it tonight, or stage overnight for a morning window. You get an ETA text and a photo when the hauler clears your block.
