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 machines are not named on any published list, so the hauler is asked before the machine goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine because no page names the category, so call the household hauler and ask whether the machine counts as one large item and what it costs, or hold it for the free spring cleanup day for large unwanted items.
When & how
Confirm the machine with the hauler first, then arrange the pickup, or hold it for the posted spring cleanup day.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, take off loose weights and the console, and keep the pieces together. Leave it off the curb until a pickup is arranged, because an unarranged item is not a scheduled large item collection.
Five haulers serve the city, and each one prices its own service
Ankeny Sanitation, Aspen Waste Systems, Garbage Guys, Waste Connections of Iowa and Waste Management of Iowa all collect residential garbage in the city, and the city sends residents to the company they use for rates, pickup days and times, yard waste fees, large item and extra trash procedures, missed collections and cart changes. The city itself publishes no collection rate.
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.
A household with a couch, mattress, appliance, exercise machine or pile of extra trash that will not fit in the cart.
Cost & conditions
There is no city rate because each household contracts privately, so call the company that serves the address for the item price, the collection day and any special handling an appliance needs.
Arrange it
Call the hauler the address uses, list every item, ask whether an appliance or refrigerant unit needs special handling, and set the items out only for the agreed collection day.
Each company sets its own prices and its own list of what it will take, and construction and demolition material, hazardous waste and tires are not cart waste.

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 a hauler take exercise equipment?+
The city's own list of what haulers handle names furniture and appliances rather than exercise machines, and the authority's sticker chart names couches, mattresses and appliances but not a treadmill or home gym. Call the hauler and describe the machine before it is set out.Official guidance
How should a treadmill be set out?+
Take off the loose weights and console, fold or break the frame down if it comes apart, and keep the parts together in one spot. Confirm with the hauler first whether the machine will be collected as a large item, and hold it for the spring cleanup day if it will not.Official guidance
