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.

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 named on the free scrap appliance and metal drop-off list, so a treadmill or weight machine goes to one of the two published drop-off events at Public Services East rather than into the garbage cart or a Spring Cleanup pile.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the scrap appliance and metal drop-off events, which the city describes as a free drop-off service for West Des Moines residents disposing of household appliances and scrap metal that are not typically collected in regular trash cycles.
When & how
Take the machine to Public Services East, 560 S. 16th Street, between 8 AM and noon on a published drop-off date. Drained metal equipment such as a mower is also on the list, and the events run on the two dates the city publishes for the year.
Get it ready
Take the machine down so it can be handled at the gate and remove any fuel or oil if it is engine driven. Keep food, chemicals, paint, wood, plastics, light bulbs and any television or monitor out of the load, because the event refuses all of them.
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 West Des Moines Public Services, with Metro Waste Authority
Take appliances, metal and electronics to the free drop-off event
A West Des Moines household with an appliance, scrap metal, a computer or exercise equipment that the regular trash cycle will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free drop-off for West Des Moines residents on the published event dates, for household appliances and scrap metal that are not typically collected in regular trash cycles. Televisions, monitors, chemicals, paint, wood, plastics, light bulbs, garbage and anything containing food are refused.
Arrange it
Bring the load to Public Services East, 560 S. 16th Street, between 8 AM and noon on a published drop-off date. Appliances, computers, metal items and exercise equipment are all on the accepted list.
The event refuses televisions and monitors, which have their own routes, and it refuses anything from a business, so it is a residential drop-off only. Food must be emptied from a freezer or refrigerator before the event.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in West Des Moines.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in West Des Moines?+
A household treadmill is $159 as the first item and $85 additional. An elliptical is $159 first and $85 additional; an exercise bike is $119 first and $40 additional. Choose all your items to see the combined price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included, with any applicable sales tax shown before payment.
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 West Des Moines take exercise equipment?+
Yes, at the free scrap appliance and metal drop-off events at Public Services East, 560 S. 16th Street, between 8 AM and noon on the published dates. Exercise equipment is named on the accepted list, so no sticker is needed and it does not have to go out with the garbage. Keep it out of Spring Cleanup piles and out of the scrap load if it holds fuel or oil, because drained equipment is what the event accepts.Official guidance
