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.

Exercise equipment is not named on the Click and Haul eligible list, which names furniture, appliances, mattresses, hot water heaters, fence panels, branches, remodeling debris and evaporative coolers, so the machine has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
No published list or rate names an exercise machine. A collection is priced at $72 for six cubic yards, so what matters is whether the city accepts the piece in a pile and how much space it takes, and that is confirmed at 720-977-6200.
When & how
Call Environmental Services at 720-977-6200 before the collection day and describe the machine, its weight and its size.
Get it ready
Take off loose weights and pedals so nothing falls during handling, fold the frame where it allows, and keep the machine out of the recycling drop-offs and out of the IMC, because the city refuses household goods and general debris at those sites.
The pile goes in the street on the morning of the collection
Click and Haul items go on the street, entirely off the property, by 7 a.m. on the scheduled collection day, where a car would parallel park. Nothing goes out more than 24 hours before the collection, the pile needs space around it and away from tree branches and parked cars, and items left in the yard, driveway or sidewalk are not collected. A resident who cannot move the load to the street can ask the Community Connections division at 720-977-5800 about help.
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.

Hazardous materials, tires, concrete or masonry demolition, televisions, computer monitors and certain other electronics, dirt, sod and rocks are refused, and the pile may not sit in the yard, driveway or sidewalk.
Self-haul in Thornton means a city site or a city event rather than a public landfill. The Infrastructure Maintenance Center at 12450 Washington St. takes appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers and water heaters on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. through the north gate at 126th Ave. and Ogden St., motor oil and antifreeze up to four gallons, and organic material in three gallon compostable bags, and it refuses paint, televisions, furniture and general trash debris. The recycling drop-off bins at the Municipal Service Center and at the Maintenance Center take household recyclables on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mattresses go to the free appointment based city drop-off or to Spring Back Colorado for a fee, electronics go to a priced city drop-off day, and household chemicals go to Veolia in Henderson with a city voucher worth the facility fee. On November 7 the gate fee is waived at the Republic Services Tower Landfill for one vehicle load per Thornton household.

Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Thornton.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Thornton?+
A household treadmill is $159 as the first item and $85 additional. An elliptical is $159 first and $85 additional; an exercise bike is $119 first and $40 additional. 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 Thornton collect a treadmill?+
Exercise equipment is not named on the Click and Haul eligible list, which names furniture, appliances, mattresses, hot water heaters, fence panels, branches, remodeling debris and evaporative coolers. Call Environmental Services at 720-977-6200 before the collection day with the machine's size and weight, because the collection is priced by volume at the six cubic yard collection price for six cubic yards and the pile has to stay inside that allowance.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Thornton?+
The City of Thornton runs the collection itself and bills it on the water bill, so questions go to Environmental Services at 720-977-6200 or environmentalservices@ThorntonCO.gov rather than to a private hauler. One black container is collected weekly with recycling every other week, extra containers cost more each month, and collection is delayed one day on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.Official guidance
Where do Thornton paint, chemicals and batteries go?+
Paint, cleaning products and other household chemicals cannot go in a cart or in a Click and Haul pile, so they go to Veolia's hazardous waste facility at 9131 E. 96th Ave. in Henderson by appointment. Thornton residents can email environmentalservices@ThorntonCO.gov with the subject VEOLIA VOUCHER REQUEST to get one voucher per household per year worth the facility fee, while the per pound charge is paid at the facility. Motor oil and antifreeze up to four gallons in sealed containers can be left at the Infrastructure Maintenance Center, and household, lithium and specialty batteries go to Batteries Plus.Official guidance
What do I do with items too big for the black container?+
Use Click and Haul, the city collection for large items. It costs a per collection price for six cubic yards, which the city describes as two normal pickup truck loads, with more than two full loads priced higher, billed on the next utility bill. Schedule it with Environmental Services at 720-977-6200 and put the load on the street by 7 a.m. on the collection day, no earlier than 24 hours before. Furniture, appliances, mattresses, hot water heaters, fence panels, branches, remodeling debris and evaporative coolers are eligible, and electronics, tires, concrete, hazardous material, dirt, sod and rocks are not.Official guidance
