A loveseat, a sleeper and a sectional can look similar in a photo. Match the shape and features so your online price covers what is actually going.
This example has three structural sections. The cushions do not add to the count.
A straight sofa or loveseat
Choose Standard sofa for fixed seats with no pull-out bed or reclining mechanism. One whole sofa is one item.
A sectional
Count its structural sections, not the loose cushions. Choose the piece count, then check for a sleeper or reclining feature. One sectional booking covers the configuration you select.
A pull-out bed or reclining seats
Choose Sleeper sofa or Reclining sofa for those mechanisms. A single reclining chair has its own Recliner choice. All sofa types also includes futons and sofas with a chaise.

Bethlehem does not collect solid waste itself. The city code puts the duty on the property owner to contract with a private hauler, and the only city-published large-item rule is a bundle capped at three feet by three feet with prior Health Department approval.
City cost & eligibility
No city rate exists because collection is a private contract. Each hauler sets its own charge for a large item, so confirm the price and the preparation rules with the hauler that serves the property.
When & how
Call the hauler on the property's account to arrange the pickup and confirm the collection day. Solid waste collection runs Monday through Saturday between 5 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the south side and 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the north side.
Get it ready
Bag and drain household waste before it goes into an approved container, which must be rigid, leak proof and have a tight-fitting lid. Rubbish that will not fit in a container may only be bundled, no larger than three feet by three feet, and only after the City Department of Health gives prior approval. Containers go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before collection and come back within five feet of the building by 8 p.m. on collection day.
Furniture is not part of the city recycling programme and no city collection route is published for it, so the couch travels on the property's private hauler contract.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler sets the price for a furniture pickup. Ask about the charge and about how the piece has to be prepared before it goes out, and note that the city requires prior Health Department approval for a bundled item that will not fit in a container.
When & how
Call the hauler that serves the property to arrange the pickup, and confirm the day on the north or south side collection window the city sets.
Get it ready
Keep furniture out of the recycling containers and the yard waste, empty drawers and remove cushions and loose parts, and if the piece will not fit in an approved container keep it to the three foot by three foot bundle limit and get the Health Department approval first.
Bethlehem puts both streams in the same window. Containers may not go out before 6 p.m. on the day before collection, and they have to be back within five feet of the building no later than 8 p.m. on the collection day. Solid waste containers must be rigid, leak proof and lidded, household waste must be bagged inside them, and a resident's own recycling container must be no larger than 30 gallons and marked recycling.
Recycling, leaves, yard waste and household garbage are four separate streams in Bethlehem. Yard waste and leaves are collected by the city, grass clippings have to be mulched into the yard rather than put out, the recycling containers take only the designated recyclables, and construction material or furniture put out with any of those streams can bring a violation. Anything that will not fit an approved container has to be bundled within three feet by three feet and approved by the City Department of Health first.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
City of Bethlehem Recycling Bureau and the property's private waste hauler
Arrange the pickup with the property's private hauler
A Bethlehem household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, exercise equipment or renovation material that the city's recycling programme will not take.
Cost & conditions
Solid waste collection is a private contract, so no city rate applies. The hauler that serves the property sets its own price for a large item, and a permitted facility sets its own tipping fee for a renovation load.
Arrange it
The city code requires the property owner to provide for solid waste collection by a hauler, and the collection window is Monday through Saturday between 5 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the south side and 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the north side. Call the hauler to book the item and confirm the day.
The city publishes no item list for a hauler pickup. Household waste has to be bagged in an approved container, and a bundled item that will not fit must stay within three feet by three feet with prior Health Department approval.
Self-haul in Bethlehem splits by material. Household trash, furniture, mattresses, the appliances the recycling center refuses, exercise equipment and renovation material all run through the private hauler the property owner is required to retain, because the city itself collects only recycling, leaves and yard waste. The city drop-off for the rest is the Theis/Cornfeld Recycling Center at 635 Illick's Mill Rd., open Tuesday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which takes paper, glass, cans, plastics numbered 1 through 7 and white goods and other scrap metal that is at least half metal, but no dishwashers, air conditioners, refrigerators or freezers, no tanks, no sealed vessels and nothing wet. Yard waste and leaves go to the city facilities on Illick's Mill Road and Schoenersville Road, with the yard waste facility closed December, February and March. Electronics and household chemicals are county routes, Lehigh County at 610-782-3073 or Northampton County at 610-829-6500, or GERSolutions for e-waste.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Couch removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Bethlehem.
How much does couch removal cost in Bethlehem?+
A standard sofa is $79 as the first item and $29 additional. Sectionals, sleepers and reclining sofas have their own choices. Select everything that is going to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax appears before payment.
Can you pick up my couch today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the couch outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We send pickup updates and photos when it is done; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
How do I book a sectional for removal?+
Open Sectional in the sofa choices, count its structural sections, and select any sleeper or reclining feature. Count the sections with their own bases, not loose cushions. The matching catalog choice covers one complete sectional of that configuration. Text a photo before booking if you are unsure.
Will you carry my couch out of my apartment?+
Dropcurb starts outside. Arrange for the sofa to be moved through the apartment and down interior stairs before pickup. We load and haul it away from an accessible outdoor spot. Arrange any dismantling needed to get it outside beforehand.
Do I need to wait at home for couch pickup?+
You do not need to be home when your booked sofa is outside and accessible. Add photos and pickup-location notes to your order so the right pieces are easy to identify. We send updates and completion photos. Confirm any building access restrictions with us before booking.
Who collects large items in Bethlehem?+
A private hauler. The city code requires every property owner to provide for solid waste collection by a hauler and forbids delegating that duty to tenants, so the hauler on the account sets the price and the arrangement for a large item. The city collects recycling, leaves and yard waste instead.Official guidance
Will the city take a couch in Bethlehem?+
Not on a city route. Solid waste collection is the property owner's private hauler contract, and the recycling programme does not take furniture, so the couch has to be arranged with the hauler. A piece that will not fit a container may only be bundled within the three foot limit with prior approval from the City Department of Health.Official guidance
Who collects what in Bethlehem?+
The City collects recycling, leaves and yard waste through its Recycling Bureau, with biweekly curbside recycling and drop-off sites on Illick's Mill Road and Schoenersville Road. Solid waste is the property owner's private hauler contract, so furniture, mattresses, appliances and renovation material are arranged with the hauler, and electronics and household chemicals go to Lehigh or Northampton County.Official guidance
What rules apply to a large item in Bethlehem?+
Household waste has to be bagged inside an approved rigid, leak proof container, and rubbish that will not fit may only be bundled up to three feet by three feet and only with prior approval from the City Department of Health. Containers go out no earlier than 6 p.m. the day before collection and come back within five feet of the building by 8 p.m. on collection day, and the private hauler sets the price for the pickup.Official guidance
