Dr Clutter › Bethlehem, PA

Junk Removal in Bethlehem, PA — same-day house calls

Dr Clutter started in Bethlehem — our first truck rolled out of 2nd Ave in 2011, and the Southside, the historic district, and West Bethlehem have kept us busy ever since. From steelworker rowhomes to 18th-century Moravian houses, nobody knows this city's basements and attics like we do.

Why Bethlehem calls us

Bethlehem's trash gap vs. one call to the Doctor

Doing it yourself in Bethlehem

  • Bethlehem doesn't collect trash at all — every owner must hire a private hauler, and bulk-item rules vary with whichever of the dozen-plus haulers you're signed with
  • The city recycling center on Illick's Mill Rd won't take furniture, mattresses, electronics, or anything with Freon
  • Self-hauling to Bethlehem Landfill on Applebutter Rd costs $65 for a car, $90 for an SUV, $120 for a pickup — card only, your own loading, your own truck

✚ The Dr Clutter way

Or: text us a photo, get a price in minutes, and a Bethlehem crew loads it, hauls it, donates what's usable, and sweeps up — same day, often for less than the landfill trip would cost you in fees and a Saturday.

Local know-how

What we handle most in Bethlehem

🎓 Lehigh & Moravian move-outs

Residence halls empty by mid-May and the Southside rental blocks turn over all at once. Landlords get priority scheduling and photo documentation between leases.

🏛 Historic-home estate cleanouts

Moravian-era downtown homes and steelworker rowhomes hold a century of belongings. We sort what's donatable, treat family pieces with care, and clear the rest respectfully.

🚚 Cheaper than the dump run

By the time you've borrowed a truck and paid the Applebutter Rd gate fee, our quarter-truck price usually wins — and we do the lifting.

Honest truck-space pricing — same in Bethlehem as everywhere

Our 16-ft truck has ~60% more room than the typical big-brand truck, and you only pay for the space you fill. Labor, hauling, disposal & sweep-up always included.

1/10 truck from $150 ½ truck from $550 Full truck from $1,050

Second opinions

Bethlehem junk removal questions, answered

No one, automatically — Bethlehem has no city trash service. Your private hauler may take limited bulk items per your contract. Dr Clutter removes any amount same-day: furniture, appliances, electronics, whole-house cleanouts.

Often, yes. The Applebutter Rd landfill charges $65–$120 per self-haul load depending on vehicle, card only — and won't take electronics. Our 1/10-truck pickups start at $150, a half truck at $550, and a full truck at $1,050, loading and disposal included.

Every May. We clear individual apartments or whole rental properties on the Southside, with before/after photos for landlords and donation receipts for what we save from the landfill.

Usually same-day — book before noon and it's gone by 6 PM. We've been a Bethlehem company since 2011, so a truck is never far.
