Ready for that machine to go? Leave it at the curb and it can be gone today. Choose your equipment, see the exact price and book by 2pm for same-day pickup.
A new use for the same space, once the old machine is outside and gone.
Room for what comes next
Your space can have a new purpose.
A home office. Room for a guest. A little more floor to enjoy. When an old machine is in the way, a clear pickup plan makes the next step easier.
The room is changing.
Book the equipment you are ready to let go of, whether it is one exercise bike or several machines. See the total before making the plan.
A replacement is coming.
Check whether your retailer includes removal. If the old treadmill is still your responsibility, give it a pickup day of its own.
It is not making the move.
Settle the price online, arrange to have it outside, and follow the pickup through text updates and completion photos. One less thing to coordinate before the keys change hands.
Choose by the type of equipment. A brand name does not mean a different item, but a walking pad and a full treadmill do.
Treadmill, walking pad or commercial model?
Household treadmill includes folding home models with a tall console. Choose Walking pad for a compact under-desk model, or Commercial treadmill for a large gym machine. All equipment opens those choices.
An exercise bike, elliptical or rower
Spin, upright, recumbent and air bikes all use Exercise bike, including Peloton and other brands. One elliptical includes its connected base, handles and pedals. Rowing machines and Pilates reformers have their own choices.
Weights, racks and benches
Add together the pounds of loose dumbbells, kettlebells, plates and barbells. Free weights are priced in 10 lb units, rounding the combined weight up. For example, 25 lb uses three units. Add a stand, rack or bench separately if it is going too.

A pickup day is not an exact arrival window. Tell us before booking about a shared loading area, restricted outdoor access or equipment whose size or setup you are unsure how to select.
Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
Measure doors and turns, and check the manufacturer’s moving instructions. Folding and moving methods vary by model. Have any required disassembly handled before pickup; we start outside.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Exercise equipment is not named in Dothan's bulk item list, the city's recycling lists or the ordinance revision presentation, so a treadmill, weight bench or home gym is not covered by a published item rule and has to be confirmed with Environmental Services.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the city does not name the category as an accepted bulky item, so confirm acceptance and the charge with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 before the machine goes out.
When & how
Call Environmental Services before the collection day and ask whether the machine counts as a bulky item and whether it needs a service ticket, then set it out with the pile if the city accepts it.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove any console, screen or battery pack so the pieces can be handled or routed separately, and keep the machine out of the green cart. Anything the crew cannot lift safely may be left at the curb.
Garbage goes in the city-issued green cart, bagged, with the lid closed and the arrows on the lid facing the street. Carts are out before 6:00 AM on the collection day. Items left outside the cart are not collected, overfilled or badly placed carts are not serviced, and each residence is issued one 95-gallon cart, with a second cart available for a fee billed to the utility account. Paperwork is handled by Environmental Services at 281 Complex Drive, Suite 1, by phone at (334) 615-3820.
One neat pile per residence, with green waste stacked apart
Trash collection covers yard material such as leaves, limbs and grass clippings plus bulky items such as furniture and appliances, in one pile per residence. Stack it neatly at the curb rather than in the street, leave room for the boom truck, and keep the pile clear of hydrants, utility poles, signposts, mailboxes, water meters and transformers. Limbs are limited to 5 feet long, green waste is stacked separately from bulky items, and a pile the crew judges excessively large may be left behind.
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 Dothan Environmental Services Division, Public Works
Use the weekly curbside trash pile
Dothan residences with furniture, appliances or similar bulky household items that fit the one-pile-per-residence limit.
Cost & conditions
Bulky items ride with the residential solid waste account and the city publishes no separate pile price, so confirm the current account charge and the pile with Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820.
Arrange it
Put one neat pile at the curb on the regular collection day, keep green waste separate, and call Environmental Services if the city requires a requested and ticketed bulky collection for your address.
One pile per residence, stacked neatly with room for the boom truck, and kept out of the street, gutters, storm drains and the three-foot clearance around hydrants, poles, mailboxes and meters. Construction and demolition debris, tires, commercial waste and hazardous material are refused.
City of Dothan Environmental Services Division, Public Works
Request the collection through Environmental Services
A residence that wants the bulky pickup requested and ticketed, or that needs the city to confirm whether a specific item is accepted.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no per-request price. The August 2026 ordinance proposal would require call-ins for bulky waste with a minimum response time, so confirm the route and any account charge when you call.
Arrange it
Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 during office hours, Monday to Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with Friday crews limited to missed collections, and describe the items so the office can create a service ticket.
The office arranges the city route only. Construction and demolition debris, tires, commercial waste and hazardous refuse stay outside the residential programme.

Choose all your items to see the combined price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included, with any applicable sales tax shown before payment.
Can you pick up a treadmill or exercise bike today?+
Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the equipment outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; we book a day rather than an exact appointment time.
Will you dismantle my treadmill or carry it out of the basement?+
Dropcurb pickup starts outside. Arrange indoor carrying, stairs and any dismantling needed to get your equipment out before pickup. Check the moving instructions for your exact model and arrange suitable help. We load and haul away the equipment from an accessible outdoor spot.
Which option covers a Peloton, spin bike or recumbent bike?+
Choose Exercise bike for one stationary bike, including spin, upright, recumbent and air bikes. Peloton and other brands use the same stationary-bike choice. A treadmill, walking pad and outdoor bicycle are different items, so select their matching options.
How do I book free weights, a weight rack or a bench?+
Enter the combined weight in pounds for your dumbbells, kettlebells, plates and barbells. Booking rounds that total up to the next 10 lb unit: 25 lb uses three units. Stands, racks and benches are separate items and do not include the loose weights. Add each one that is going.
Can a treadmill go out with the Dothan trash pile?+
Exercise equipment is not on the city's published bulky item list, so it is not covered by a standing rule. Call Environmental Services at (334) 615-3820 with the machine type and ask whether it will be collected as a bulky item and whether a service ticket is needed first.Official guidance

How do holidays change collection in Dothan?+

In the 2026 calendar, Juneteenth on Friday June 19 and Independence Day on Friday July 3 are regular schedule weeks, while Thanksgiving week from November 23 and Christmas week from December 21 shift Monday and Tuesday pickups to the Monday, Wednesday to the Tuesday and Thursday to the Wednesday, and no recycling is collected in either of those weeks.Official guidance
