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.
Your place. One easy pickup plan.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
Measure doors and turns, and check the manufacturer’s moving instructions. Folding and moving methods vary by model. Have any required disassembly handled before pickup; we start outside.

Make the equipment easy to identify.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulk list, so the machine has to be confirmed with the solid waste office.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and the city does not name the category, so call the solid waste office at 863-834-8773 and ask whether the machine can go out as bulk junk inside the four free collections before it is set at the curb.
When & how
Call 863-834-8773 with the machine type, and set it out only if the office confirms it as bulk junk.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with it, and keep it out of the cart and clear of the sidewalk.
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.
City of Lakeland Solid Waste Division, with Polk County running the household hazardous waste facility and collection events
Arrange a bulk junk or yard waste collection
A city household with furniture, mattresses, couches, tree limbs, construction material or an appliance to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $13.81 for the charge per cubic yard for a collection beyond the four free collections in a calendar year. Four bulk yard waste or bulk junk collections a calendar year are free, up to 20 cubic yards each, and a collection beyond them is charged 13.81 per cubic yard with a 30.66 minimum. Appliances are collected by a special bulk truck for recycling.
Arrange it
Email solidwastemanagement@lakelandgov.net with the address and the material at the curb, or call 863-834-8773, then put the material out for the scheduled collection.
Only city customers are served, because a household with a gray garbage can and a black recycle can is a Polk County customer served by the county at 863-284-4319. Yard waste items may not be longer than eight feet, and hazardous products such as paint, chemicals, propane and batteries go to the Polk County household hazardous waste program instead of the curb.
