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.

Make the equipment easy to identify.
Place the booked equipment in an accessible outdoor spot. Keep any separated parts together, add a photo and clear location notes to your order, and leave the approach clear.
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 on the acceptable bulky list or on the refused list, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
A machine that the hauler accepts would use the one free Bulky and Reuse Pick-Up a household gets each year, so confirm the item and its weight with Alameda County Industries on (510) 483-1400 before the scheduled day rather than assuming it is covered.
When & how
Call Alameda County Industries before booking the annual pickup and confirm whether the machine is accepted, then set it out on the scheduled day if it is.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when you ask. Anything other than furniture and appliances is limited to 75 pounds and has to be manageable by two people, so a heavy frame may need a different route. Remove the console or battery pack so the electronics can be handled separately.
Place items within three feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled pickup day and never more than 24 hours in advance. Do not block the street or sidewalk. A single-family collection is limited to seven cubic yards and anything beyond that is charged, so keep the pile inside the limit and stack it so that removing one item cannot topple the rest.
Watch the weight limit on everything except furniture and appliances
Items must weigh less than 75 pounds and be manageable by two people, with furniture and appliances exempt. Loose material should be bagged, boxed or bundled, yard trimmings and unpainted wood go in bundles no longer than four feet with pieces under six inches across, and tires must have the rims separated. Canyonlands residents coordinate a collection location with Alameda County Industries instead of the standard curb.
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 Castro Valley.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Castro Valley?+
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 the Castro Valley bulky pickup take a treadmill?+
Exercise equipment is not named on the acceptable bulky list or on the refused list, so call Alameda County Industries on (510) 483-1400 and confirm the machine before the scheduled day. Remember that items other than furniture and appliances are limited to 75 pounds and must be manageable by two people.Official guidance
