Does Bethlehem pick up outdoor items?
Bethlehem Public Works Bulk Service runs bi-weekly but still requires 2-4 week waits for $28 per pickup. Even with more frequent service than some cities, the wait times remain frustrating.
City program details: Bethlehem Public Works Bulk Service. Frequency: bi-weekly. Wait: 2-4 weeks. Fees: $28 per pickup
You can wait 2-4 weeks and pay $28 for city pickup, drive to Lehigh County Solid Waste-Bethlehem for $15-38 per load, or call 1-800-GOT-JUNK for $150-$600+ with 2-3 day waits. Local haulers charge $100-$350 with varying reliability.
Dropcurb picks up outdoor items same-day in Bethlehem for $79 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
$28 sounds cheap until you factor in the 2-4 week wait.
Bethlehem's bi-weekly service sounds more convenient than monthly programs, but 2-4 week waits still mean your old appliances or furniture become temporary fixtures. The $28 fee loses appeal when items sit for a month.

What happens to your outdoor item after pickup
Outdoor items with metal frames (grills, patio furniture, trampolines) are recycled for scrap steel and aluminum. Plastic outdoor furniture and resin items are processed at plastics recycling facilities when accepted locally. Wood items like deck furniture and fencing may be recycled or repurposed. Grills must have propane tanks removed before pickup — propane tanks are classified as hazardous material and cannot be transported. Items in good condition (clean patio sets, functional grills) may be donated to local organizations or resold.
