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 in the large item categories, which list furniture, appliances and electronic waste, so a treadmill or weight machine is confirmed with the hauler before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
The large item service is free for up to five items five times a year, but exercise equipment is not a named category, so Waste Management confirms at (760) 439-2824 whether the machine counts as one of the five items and whether any charge applies.
When & how
Call at least 24 hours before the collection day to ask about the machine, then schedule it with the same large item service if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when calling, tie or fold down the deck and handles, and take off the console and any battery pack so the electronics can go out with an e-waste pickup instead.
Book the large item pickup a day ahead, five items at a time
Call Waste Management at (760) 439-2824 at least 24 hours or one business day before the collection day to book a large item pickup, and keep the load to five items. Five collections a year are included at no charge for Oceanside residents, and additional broken or soiled items can be scheduled during the landfill weeks the city runs twice a year.
Carts out by 6 a.m. with the lids closed and two feet of clearance
Carts may go out from 4 p.m. the day before service and must be at the curb by 6 a.m. on the service day with the wheels against the curb and the handles facing away from the street. Leave two feet of clearance from parked cars, mailboxes and other carts, keep carts out from under trees and overhead obstructions, close the lid completely, stay under the weight printed on the lid, and take the carts off the street by 11 p.m. after they are serviced.
Construction waste, tires, chemicals and electronics stay out of the carts
The landfill cart refuses construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste such as paint, oil and cleaners, medical and electronic waste and food scraps. A cart that is overloaded or contaminated gets a notice of non-collection, the resident removes the material and waits for the next collection, and an additional fee may apply, so the recycled and organic streams stay separate.
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.

Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Oceanside.

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 Oceanside take a treadmill as a large item?+
Exercise equipment is not one of the named categories, which are furniture, appliances and electronic waste, so the answer comes from Waste Management at (760) 439-2824. If it is accepted it uses one of the five free large item pickups a year, booked at least 24 hours before the collection day.Official guidance
