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 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.

A treadmill or other exercise machine moves as a bulky item, because the free curbside allowance stops at sixty pounds and six feet. The contracted collector quotes the machine as a fee-based collection, and a self-hauled machine is charged as loose waste by the cubic yard with a two cubic yard minimum.
City cost & eligibility
From $13.25 per cubic yard of loose waste at the Larimer County Landfill, with a two cubic yard minimum, or the published flat fee for the car, pickup or van carrying it. Residential loads at the Larimer County Landfill; a curbside exercise machine is quoted by Republic Services as a fee-based bulky item.
When & how
Schedule the curb pickup with Republic Services, or deliver the machine to the landfill gate Monday through Saturday between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Get it ready
Remove or fold down the console and any electronics before the machine leaves the house, because those parts are electronic waste and have to be recycled rather than buried, then secure the load for the trip.
Follow the collector's instructions for cart placement, and bring carts in overnight if they stay out longer than twelve hours so the address does not draw a code warning. Every cart needs three feet of clearance on the sides and sixteen feet of overhead clearance so the truck can reach it.
Unsecured or uncovered loads are charged double at every Larimer County solid waste location, so tarp and tie down anything headed to the landfill or the recycling center. Both sites close for mud, wind and severe weather, and the county posts current restrictions on its solid waste home page.
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.
Two free bulk items a year through the City's contracted collector
A household with a vacuum, a dining chair, luggage, a nightstand, a card table or a wicker chair that fits the size and weight limits.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Single family homes and small multi-family buildings of seven units or fewer inside Fort Collins city limits that use the contracted program, two free bulk items a year at no extra charge.
Arrange it
Call Republic Services to schedule a bulky item, and keep the piece accessible on the scheduled day.
Two items a year, each under sixty pounds with no dimension over six feet. Anything over those limits is a fee-based collection set by the collector.

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.
Is a treadmill one of the free bulk items?+
No. The two free curbside bulk items a year are limited to items under sixty pounds with no dimension over six feet, so a treadmill is a fee-based collection. Self-hauled, the machine is charged at the Larimer County Landfill as loose waste with a two cubic yard minimum.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Fort Collins?+
Fort Collins contracts with Republic Services to collect curbside trash, recycling and seasonal yard trimmings from single family homes and small multi-family buildings of seven units or fewer. A household can opt out and use a different hauler that holds a City license, and it pays an opt-out fee to the City instead of the contract charge.Official guidance
How many free bulk items does a Fort Collins household get?+
The contracted curbside program includes two free bulk items a year, limited to pieces under sixty pounds with no dimension over six feet. A larger or heavier item such as a couch, a mattress or a treadmill is a fee-based collection quoted by the collector, and the same piece can be self-hauled to the Larimer County Landfill instead.Official guidance
