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.

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 on the county's bulky item list or its special collection list, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes the bulky item fee as an on-site assessment rather than a per item price, so confirm whether the machine counts as a bulky item and what the assessed fee would be by calling 404-294-2900 before the request is submitted.
When & how
Call customer care before placing the machine at the curb, then submit the request only if the county confirms it belongs in the bulky stream.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when you call, and take the console or any battery pack off so those parts are handled separately rather than left in the pile.
Weekly collection runs once a week for all three streams
DeKalb County collects garbage, recycling and yard trimmings once a week on the same day for Decatur addresses. Containers go out after 7 p.m. the night before collection, have to be curbside by 7 a.m. on the collection day, and come back in within 24 hours of service. Collection schedules change during county-observed holidays and service can be suspended in bad weather, and the county asks residents to check the holiday schedule and the service status notices before reporting a missed pickup.
Bulky items are requested, assessed and paid before collection
Bulky items do not go out with the regular carts. The county lists furniture, mattresses and box springs, bathroom fixtures and appliances as fee required bulky items, and construction material, fencing, decking, tree parts, commingled piles, contractor waste and heavy cardboard as prepaid special collections. The sequence matters: the pile goes to the curb first, then the request is submitted online, by email to solidwaste@dekalbcountyga.gov with photos, or in person at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive, staff assess the pile and leave an assessment form, and the fee is paid before collection.
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.

How do I book free weights, a weight rack or a bench?+

The county's Solid Waste Management department names Decatur among the cities it serves alongside unincorporated DeKalb and several other cities, and it collects garbage, recycling and yard trimmings once a week on the same day, runs the fee based bulky item collection and the prepaid special collections, and operates the Seminole Road Landfill where tires and electronics go. Customer care is 404-294-2900 on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and in-person service is at 3720 Leroy Scott Drive in Decatur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
What does a bulky item pickup cost?+
The county treats bulky items as fee required and determines the amount with an on-site assessment after the pile is placed at the curb and the request is submitted. The published special collection table gives a general special collection minimum and a per truckload rate, with tree parts over three inches and commingled piles listed at higher minimum and per truckload figures, and the fee has to be paid before collection by online payment, check or money order or, in person, by credit card.Official guidance
