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.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Modesto single family residential solid waste customers, with two bulky item pickups per calendar year and two haul-it-yourself vouchers per calendar year.
When & how
Book the pickup with Gilton Solid Waste or Bertolotti Disposal and set the machine out no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before the appointment.
Get it ready
Put the equipment in the street against the curb in front of the home without blocking sidewalks, driveways, hydrants or storm drains, and keep small parts in the garbage container. Exercise equipment is named on the acceptable list, so it does not need a separate confirmation.
Bulky items go in the street against the curb in front of the resident's own home, never in the alley. The pile must not block sidewalks, driveways, fire hydrants, storm drains or garbage cans, small items belong in the garbage container rather than the pile, and nothing is set out before 6:00 PM the evening before the scheduled appointment.
A single family residential customer may have two bulky item pickups per calendar year, booked with Gilton Solid Waste or Bertolotti Disposal. The same customer may also use two haul-it-yourself vouchers a calendar year, each covering one truck or trailer load no larger than four feet by four feet by eight feet taken to the provider's transfer station, with the voucher held at the station and valid for seven days. Multi-family residents arrange both through the property manager.
The acceptable list covers air conditioners, doors and ladders, exercise equipment and bicycles, plastic or fake Christmas trees, large appliances with all doors removed, mattresses, couches and chairs, patio furniture and barbecues with the propane tank removed, tables and desks, toilets, sinks, tubs and hot tubs, and water heaters and water softeners. The unacceptable list covers concrete and asphalt, construction and demolition debris, wood and yard waste, dead animals, hazardous waste, chemicals and toxic materials, household garbage, business items, liquids, paints and solvents, plate glass, televisions and computer monitors, and tires and automobile parts.
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.

Use a haul-it-yourself voucher
Modesto households that would rather take their own truck or trailer load to the solid waste provider's transfer station than wait for a curbside appointment.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Modesto single family residential solid waste customers, with two haul-it-yourself vouchers per calendar year.
Arrange it
Request the voucher from your solid waste company, collect it at the transfer station, and use it within seven days. Multi-family residents request the voucher through the property manager or owner.
One load per voucher, no larger than four feet by four feet by eight feet, two vouchers a calendar year, and the same acceptable and unacceptable item lists apply, so construction debris, liquids, paints, tires and televisions stay out.

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 Modesto take an exercise machine?+
Yes. Exercise equipment and bicycles are named on the acceptable bulky item list, so a treadmill or weight machine can go on one of the two bulky item pickups a household gets each calendar year, or with a haul-it-yourself voucher. Set it out by appointment no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before.Official guidance
