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 machine can be too heavy or awkward for a solo move. Arrange suitable help for indoor carrying, stairs or any dismantling needed to reach the outdoor pickup spot.
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 the accepted bulk trash list, the prohibited list, the Household Products Collection Center list or the Zero Waste Day list, so the city has to confirm the machine before it goes out. A powered machine carries a console and a cord, which the center accepts as electronics.
City cost & eligibility
No Tempe page names exercise equipment, so there is no published route or price. Confirm the machine with Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311 before setting it out for the bulk week.
When & how
Call Tempe 311 during business hours before the bulk week, or before taking a machine to the collection center, and confirm whether the item is accepted and where it belongs.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, remove the console, cord or battery pack so it can go to the collection center as electronics, and keep the frame out of the bulk pile until the route is confirmed.
The bulk pile has a two week window and a hard limit
Bulk trash and green organics go out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of the scheduled collection week and no earlier than 10 days before it, and a holiday in that week does not move the collection. The pile is limited to 10 cubic yards, which the city describes as the size of a small SUV, and the city moves each address on its own every-other-month schedule rather than every week.
Trash and green organics go into two distinct piles four feet apart, and every item stays four feet away from a solid waste container, fire hydrant, gas meter, telephone or utility box. Nothing goes over a manhole cover, curbside addresses keep the pile on the property line in the street or at the front edge of the driveway without blocking the sidewalk, and alley addresses keep it along the fence line without blocking the alley.
The Household Products Collection Center and the Zero Waste Day event use the same procedure: have identification ready, load the material into the rear-most part of the vehicle such as the truck bed, trunk or rear hatch and never the front or back seat, transport it in cardboard boxes rather than plastic bags, and stay in the vehicle while staff unload. Boxes are not returned, and the center refuses items that arrive in garbage bags.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tempe.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Tempe?+
A household treadmill is $159 as the first item and $85 additional. An elliptical is $159 first and $85 additional; an exercise bike is $119 first and $40 additional. 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.
Will Tempe take a treadmill in the bulk trash week?+
Exercise equipment is not named on the accepted or prohibited bulk trash lists, so acceptance has to be confirmed. Call Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311 with the machine type, and keep any console, cord or battery pack separate because the Household Products Collection Center takes anything with a cord or a battery.Official guidance
Who runs trash collection in Tempe?+
The City of Tempe does, through the Solid Waste Services section of the Public Works Department, so this is a municipal service rather than a private subscription. Garbage and recycling run weekly, bulky trash and green organics run every other month, and program questions go to Tempe 311 at 480-350-4311.Official guidance
When is my bulk trash week in Tempe?+
Every other month, on the schedule published for each address, with the material out by 6 a.m. on the Monday of that week and no earlier than 10 days before. A holiday in the collection week does not change the schedule, and the city notes that a collection may occasionally be delayed.Official guidance
