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.

Exercise equipment is not named on any El Monte list, so the route has to be confirmed with the hauler or the city before the machine goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise equipment rate and does not name the category, so confirm whether the machine counts against the 20 free bulky items with Valley Vista Services at 800-442-6454 before the pickup day.
When & how
Call Valley Vista Services before the trash day and, if the machine is accepted, book it into the bulky pickup with at least one day of notice.
Get it ready
Fold or tie down the deck and handles, remove the console and any battery pack so the electronics can be routed separately, and keep the machine out of the three carts.
Book the bulky pickup at least one day ahead of trash day
El Monte bulky waste is collected on the normal trash day, and the pickup has to be scheduled at least one day in advance, so nothing should be sitting at the curb in the hope of a collection. A single-family home has 20 free bulky items a year, and the accepted list covers appliances, carpet rolled and tied, chairs, desks, electronics, mattresses, sofas, tables, tires and bundled tree branches.
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.
A single-family household with a mattress, couch, appliance, television or another large household item that will not fit in a cart.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call Valley Vista Services at 800-442-6454 or request the pickup through the hauler's bulky item page at least one day before the trash day, and put the items out that morning.
Business waste, construction debris and hazardous waste are refused, the allowance is 20 items a year, and the collection happens on the scheduled trash day rather than on demand.
