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.

Appliances, metal furniture, bathtubs, toilets and other hard material go out through the on-call non-burnable collection, with one free collection of up to five items a year for a single family home.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A single family home gets a one-time annual free non-burnable collection of up to five items. A two to six family building gets one free service for all units on the appointment date with up to five items per unit, so a two family building may put out up to ten items and a six family building up to thirty. Extra collections cost 50 dollars for up to five items.
When & how
Call the City's contractor at 860-793-6721 or book online, and coordinate the units in a multi-family building so everything goes out on the same appointment date.
Get it ready
Check the published list before setting anything out. Freon appliances are limited to residential sizes, lawnmowers and snowblowers have to have their fluids removed, tanks have to be dry and cut in half, drums need the tops removed, punctured and dry, and limited amounts of building debris, bricks, rocks, cement and tar products, sheetrock, shingles, siding and tar paper have to be packaged or in 32 gallon barrels half full.
Exercise machines are named on the City's non-burnable collection list and metal recreational equipment including exercise equipment is free at the Recycling Center.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Exercise machines are on the on-call non-burnable collection list, which is free for the first five items of a single family home's one annual collection, and metal recreational equipment such as exercise equipment is listed as free to dispose of at the Recycling Center.
When & how
Book an on-call non-burnable collection at 860-793-6721, or take the machine to 642 Christian Lane during the Recycling Center's open hours.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart so a two person crew can handle it, keep it out of the maroon trash container, and remember that the free single family allowance covers one non-burnable collection of up to five items a year.
Burnable material covers upholstered and wooden items such as couches, chairs, recliners, rugs and bundled wood, and it is booked by appointment with three free collections of up to five items a year for a single family home. Non-burnable material covers appliances, metal furniture, exercise machines, bathtubs and toilets, with one free collection of up to five items a year. Getting the pile into the wrong program is the most common way a collection is refused.
The Recycling Center charges by weight, so sort first
Mattresses, electronics and metal waste are free at the City Recycling Center, while general waste such as household trash and construction debris is charged by weight with minimum transaction fees. Separating the free material from the general waste before the trip is what keeps a load cheap.
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.

The Center is outside the city in Berlin, the Saturday schedule changes by season and by month, and the free items are the ones the City lists, so a load that mixes free material with general waste is charged on the general waste rate.

General waste is charged at 160 dollars a ton with minimum transactions of 10 dollars up to 100 pounds and 20 dollars from 101 to 240 pounds. Propane is charged per cylinder, batteries per drop off, and tires per tire with no large equipment tires. Oil tanks have to be dry and cut in half. The Center sits in Berlin rather than in New Britain, the Saturday schedule follows the published seasonal openings, and the City publishes the holiday closings for each fiscal year.
Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., second and fourth Saturdays from April through October and every Saturday in November from 7:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Contact Public Works at 860-826-3350.

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.
What can go out in a non-burnable collection?+
Appliances including refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners with Freon, washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and microwaves, furnaces and water heaters, bathtubs, sinks, toilets and vanities, metal doors, metal bedframes, metal furniture, bicycles, exercise machines, cement mixers, snowblowers with no fluids, lawnmowers with fluids removed, dismantled swingsets, pipes bundled up to four feet, tanks cut in half, and limited packaged amounts of building debris, bricks, rocks, sheetrock, shingles and siding.Official guidance
How many non-burnable items can go out?+
A single family home gets one free collection of up to five items a year. A two to six family building gets one free service for the whole building on the appointment date, with up to five items per unit, so the building total runs from ten items for a two family to thirty for a six family. An extra collection costs 50 dollars for up to five items.Official guidance
Where does a sleeper sofa go?+
The non-burnable list accepts a sleeper sofa only on its metal bedframe, while the burnable list covers couches, chairs and recliners. A sleeper sofa is therefore split between the two programs, so ask Public Works at 860-826-3350 how the piece should be presented before the appointment.Official guidance
Will New Britain take a treadmill?+
Yes. Exercise machines are named on the on-call non-burnable collection list, and metal recreational equipment including exercise equipment is listed as free to dispose of at the City Recycling Center. A single family home gets one free non-burnable collection of up to five items a year.Official guidance
Who collects trash in New Britain?+
The City of New Britain Public Works Department runs the service and uses CWPM as its rubbish and recycling contractor. Public Works is at 27 West Main Street on the 5th floor, telephone 860-826-3350, and the contractor's collection appointment line is 860-793-6721.Official guidance
What large item programs does New Britain run?+
Two, both booked by appointment. The burnable collection takes couches, chairs, recliners, rugs, carpeting, wooden and plastic furniture, toys and bundled wood, and the non-burnable collection takes appliances, metal furniture, exercise machines, bathtubs, toilets and packaged building debris. A single family home gets three burnable collections of up to five items and one non-burnable collection of up to five items each fiscal year.Official guidance
What do the collections and drop-off fees cost?+
The annual allowances are free. An extra burnable collection costs 20 dollars for the first item and 10 dollars for each additional item, and an extra non-burnable collection costs 50 dollars for up to five items. At the Recycling Center, mattresses, electronics and metal waste are free, general waste is 160 dollars a ton with minimum transactions, batteries are 5 dollars, propane runs from 2 to 20 dollars and tires run from 10 to 60 dollars each by size.Official guidance
How does a multi-family building book collections?+
A two to six family building gets one free non-burnable service for all units on the appointment date with up to five items per unit, so the building total runs from ten items for a two family to thirty for a six family. Burnable collections run at two per dwelling unit with a maximum of eight, and the owner or tenants have to coordinate so no more than five items per unit go out at once.Official guidance
What can go in the blue recycling container?+
The blue container is a single stream program, so paper, newspaper, cardboard, box board, plastics numbered 1 through 7, glass and aseptic cartons can be mixed in it, and the City asks residents to keep non recyclable material out because contamination costs the City money. The guide lists co-mingled recycling as free at the Recycling Center as well as at the curb.Official guidance
How do leaves go out?+
In paper leaf bags only, on the citywide collection routes, with no plastic bags, no tape or staples, and no more than 40 pounds per bag. Bags are for leaves only, so sticks, pine needles, acorns, brush and rubbish go in the regular trash and grass is composted in the backyard or left on the lawn. The Recycling Center is the drop-off site for overweight bags.Official guidance
