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.

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 rules or the county lists, so it is handled as a scheduled large item or a landfill load.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate names an exercise machine. A large item can be scheduled curbside as part of the subscribed cart service, and the Walker Mountain Landfill charges by weight at the gate, so confirm the route and the cost before the machine moves.
When & how
Put the machine on the street by 7 am on your garbage service day and call 706-236-4580 to schedule the pickup, or take it to the Walker Mountain Landfill.
Get it ready
Fold or break the machine down where possible, keep it out of the recycling and yard carts, and keep it clear of the street so it does not block collection.
Carts go out on the collection day and stay inside the city carts
The city runs a four day collection schedule and collects household garbage, the recycling cart, the yard waste cart and junk items on the same day between 7 am and 5 pm. Garbage has to fit inside the city-issued 65 gallon cart with the lid closed because the city does not pick up trash outside the cart, recyclables go loose in the 65 gallon recycling cart, and the 95 gallon yard waste cart takes compostable yard debris with no leaves in garbage bags and no rocks or dirt.
Large items go on the street by 7 am, then get scheduled
A collection of larger items such as old furniture goes on the street by 7 am on the garbage service day, and the office schedules the pickup after the items are on the curb, so call 706-236-4580 to arrange it. Loose limbs and brush too large for the yard cart may also go out for the grabber truck when the pile is under 500 pounds and under 4 cubic yards, with limbs no longer than 8 feet or heavier than 200 pounds, and that collection runs by route with a four to six week return.
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.

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 Rome take a treadmill as a large item?+
Exercise equipment is not named in the city or county lists, so treat it as a scheduled large item: put it on the street by 7 am on your garbage service day and call 706-236-4580 to schedule the pickup, or take it to the Walker Mountain Landfill, which charges by weight at the gate. Confirm with the office before the machine moves.Official guidance
