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.

EDCO collects large items generated from within the home on a bulky item pickup, set out at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day and taken by a separate truck. The pickup is offered for a nominal fee per item, and EDCO also mails a free bulky item cleanup coupon twice a year.
City cost & eligibility
The operator publishes a nominal fee per item and charges more per item for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner, whose refrigerant needs special handling, but it prints no amount. Twice a year a free bulky item cleanup coupon is mailed with the terms printed in the Environmental Times newsletter, so confirm which route applies and the current per item price with EDCO at (858) 748-7769.
When & how
Contact EDCO at least two days before the normal collection day to arrange a bulky item pickup, then set the items at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day. The free cleanup coupon runs on its own mailed schedule and its terms travel with the coupon.
Get it ready
Keep each item at a size the collection crew can handle and keep the pile out of the travel path, because the pickup is a separate truck from the weekly route. Wrap a mattress before it goes out, keep household hazardous waste, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, auto parts, tires, construction debris, concrete, rocks, brick and dirt out of the pile, and never place hazardous chemicals at the curb.
Nothing in this source set names exercise equipment. The bulky list is written as items including but not limited to furniture, carpet, rugs and book shelves, so a machine may qualify as a large item generated from within the home, but the packet asks the reader to confirm the piece before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The operator publishes a nominal fee per item and no amount for exercise equipment. A machine that qualifies as a bulky item would be charged that per item fee, or could fall under the free cleanup coupon, so confirm the machine and the price with EDCO at (858) 748-7769 before booking.
When & how
Call EDCO at least two days before the normal collection day, confirm the machine, then set it out by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed bulky item day.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights, pedals and straps, fold the frame where the machine allows it, and keep the console or any battery separate so the electronics can go to the recycling center instead. Keep the machine out of the carts and off the sidewalk while the pickup is confirmed.
Book the pickup at least two days before the normal collection day, then set the items at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day. Wrap a mattress before it goes out, keep each piece where the crew can reach it, and keep hazardous chemicals, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, auto parts, tires, concrete, dirt and construction debris out of the pile entirely.
Order a temporary dumpster for a home improvement or yard clean up, or a roll off box for demolition material and construction debris. EDCO sizes the container by the material and the weight, delivers it and collects it when the work is done, and gives a free estimate by phone, so sort heavy inert material from mixed debris before the box arrives.
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 San Marcos household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance or another large item generated inside the home.
Cost & conditions
The pickup carries the operator's nominal fee per item, with a higher fee for a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner, and no amount is published. Confirm the current price and the appointed day with EDCO at (858) 748-7769.
Arrange it
Contact EDCO at least two days before the normal collection day, then put the items at the curb or the end of the driveway by 6:00 a.m. on the appointed day for the separate bulky truck.
Household hazardous waste, electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste and needles, auto parts including tires, construction and demolition debris, concrete, rocks, brick and dirt are refused, and a mattress has to be wrapped before it is set out.
A San Marcos household that received the mailed coupon and wants a bulky cleanup without the per item fee.
Cost & conditions
No charge. EDCO mails a free bulky item cleanup coupon twice a year, with the coupon and its detailed information printed in the Environmental Times newsletter inserted in the billing statement. The allowance and the terms travel with the coupon.
Arrange it
Watch for the coupon in the billing statement mailer, keep it, and follow the set-out instructions printed with it.
The coupon arrives twice a year on the operator's schedule rather than on demand, and the same refusals apply as for a paid pickup, including hazardous chemicals, electronics, tires and construction debris.
San Marcos residents have several self haul options. EDCO's Certified Recycling Center at 224 S. Las Posas Road takes electronic waste, household batteries and sharps for free, along with used motor oil found at certified locations that include this center, fats, oils and grease in a sealed container, and carpet, which the city lists as a Wednesday through Saturday drop-off. Leftover paint is free at PaintCare paint stores, and unused medicine goes in the anonymous kiosk at the San Marcos Sheriff's Station on Santar Place. Household hazardous waste such as cleaners, chemicals, pesticides and fluorescent bulbs goes to the North County Regional facility at 1145 East Taylor Street in Vista on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. except holiday weekends, with the regional hotline at (800) 714-1195. For a project load, EDCO rents temporary dumpsters and roll off boxes because construction debris, concrete and dirt are refused at the curb.
