Trash & Recycling

Although the Township does not provide trash or recycling services, we do provide each resident with a 20 gallon Rubbermaid recycling container for use by your private hauler. They are available for pick-up at the Bethlehem Township Municipal Building, 4225 Easton Avenue, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday except holidays. Please contact your hauler for specific recycling or trash removal services questions.

If your container is stolen, blown away, or you require an additional container, it may be purchased at a cost of $12.00.
