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.

Athens removes bulky items, including major appliances and furniture, on request only through a Bulky Item Request. Bulky items and electronics must not be placed in the trash containers, and the hauler states that doing so may cause an interruption in service.
City cost & eligibility
The local page publishes no bulky item fee. The county mattress program states that most county haulers serving unincorporated areas, the garbage disposal districts and the residential franchise areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances, so confirm whether the pickup is covered and what the limits are with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
When & how
Submit a Bulky Item Request with Athens, or call customer service at (888) 336-6100, and set the items out only for the appointed day. Customer service answers Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep bulky items out of the carts, because the hauler may interrupt service for a cart that contains them, and keep the pile clear of the travel path. Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris such as dirt, concrete, tile, drywall and rock, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are not accepted in a bulky pickup.
Exercise equipment is not named in the county or hauler lists. The bulky request form does have an other category, so a machine may be accepted as a bulky item, but the packet asks the reader to confirm the piece before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment rule or rate is published. A machine would have to be accepted as a bulky item through the request form's other category, so confirm the piece and whether the pickup is covered with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
When & how
Call Athens or submit a Bulky Item Request describing the machine, and set it out only for the appointed day if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights, pedals and straps, fold the frame where the machine allows it, and keep any console or battery separate so nothing with a battery ends up in a cart. Keep the machine out of every container while the pickup is confirmed.
Submit the Bulky Item Request with Athens first, then put the items out only for the appointed day. Keep bulky items and electronics out of the carts, because the hauler states that a cart containing them may interrupt service, and keep automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste and loose building material out of the pile entirely.
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.
Los Angeles County Public Works with Athens Services
Request a bulky item pickup from Athens
A South Whittier household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance or another large item that will not fit in a cart.
Cost & conditions
The local page publishes no bulky item fee, while the county states that most haulers serving unincorporated areas provide free bulky item pickup for mattresses, furniture and appliances. Confirm the pickup and any limits with Athens at (888) 336-6100.
Arrange it
Submit a Bulky Item Request or call Athens, then set the items out for the appointed day rather than on a normal collection day.
The pickup is by request only, so a pile left out without an appointment can conflict with the county container placement ordinance. Automobile parts, construction and demolition debris, hazardous waste, and loose or scattered building material and lumber are refused.
South Whittier households mostly stay with the hauler. Request a bulky item pickup from Athens at (888) 336-6100 for furniture, a mattress or an appliance, and use the county mattress recycling program if a free drop off or retailer take back is easier. Paint, solvents, batteries, automotive fluids, pesticides, pool chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste, medicines, used motor oil and electronic waste go to the free Los Angeles County collection events, permanent centers or S.A.F.E. centers, with a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds and a refusal list that includes trash, tires and white goods. Construction and demolition material has no curbside route at all, so the container comes from Athens, and nothing hazardous should ever be left out with a cart.
