Book by 2pm for same-day pickup.

Two views of the same room corner: a treadmill on the left, and a small desk and chair in its place on the right.
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.

Match the machine

The right choice covers the right equipment.

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.

Ready for pickup

Plan the move outside before pickup day.

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.

Text us about your setup
  1. Check the route and the model.

    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.

  2. Book a day you can be ready.

    Choose from the available pickup dates before moving the machine out. Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Book by 2pm at the pickup address for same-day pickup.

  3. Make the equipment easy to identify.

    Place the booked equipment in an accessible outdoor spot. Keep any separated parts together, add a photo and clear location notes to your order, and leave the approach clear.

Exercise equipment removal in DeKalb: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk examples or any accepted list, so the machine has to be confirmed with the hauler.

City cost & eligibility
No published amount covers an exercise machine and the program does not name the category, so confirm the item and the price with LRS at 844-633-3577 or Service@LRSrecycles.com. A machine that qualifies as an ordinary bulk item would use the free weekly bulk item, while anything over 50 pounds or needing extra labor would move to a special pickup estimate.
When & how
Call LRS before the machine goes out, and if it is accepted, set it out on the regular collection day by 6 a.m.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep the loose weights with it, and expect a special pickup estimate if the machine is heavy or needs more than the usual handling.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

For your Dropcurb pickup

Taking it somewhere yourself?

DeKalb's routes run through the hauler and through state and county programs rather than a city drop-off yard. LRS collects one bulk item a week free with the carts and charges a prepaid amount for each additional item, and it takes appliances only when they are prescheduled, electronic waste on a requested monthly collection day, and household hazardous waste through a home collection scheduled directly with the resident. Outside the hauler, the City points residents at the Illinois EPA regional household hazardous waste sites, which take the material at no charge, with two regional sites, one in Naperville and one in Rockford, that keep weekend hours. Used motor oil follows the Illinois EPA site and the health department's periodic collections, and liquid latex paint waits for the health department's annual collection while dry paint and its container may go in the regular trash. Prescription medications go to the DeKalb Police Department's 24 hour drop box in the front lobby, plastic bags go to participating grocery stores, and electronics are banned from Illinois landfills, which is why the monthly collection exists.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in DeKalb.

How much does exercise equipment removal cost in DeKalb?

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 DeKalb take a treadmill?

Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk examples or the accepted lists, so call LRS at 844-633-3577 to confirm the machine. A heavy or awkward machine is likely to fall under the special pickup estimate, which covers items over 50 pounds or items needing additional labor or equipment.Official guidance

How is DeKalb's trash service set up?

The City contracts LRS as the exclusive collector for homes receiving weekly curbside or alley service, and the service is paid through the City utility bill. Refuse, recycling, yard waste and organics all run on one weekly collection day, Wednesday through Friday by address, with everything out by 6 a.m.Official guidance

What is the fastest way to clear a house in DeKalb?

Use the free weekly bulk item for furniture, a mattress or a bed frame, wrap each mattress and box spring in plastic, and prepay additional items for the same week. Appliances have to be prescheduled, electronics wait for the monthly requested collection, and hazardous material goes through the home collection, with construction debris needing its own special pickup estimate.Official guidance

What happens to Christmas trees?

Real trees are collected on the collection day during the first two weeks of January at no charge. The tree should be bare of bags, tinsel, lights, ornaments, wire and glitter and preferably cut under seven feet, and it will not be collected if it is frozen to the ground. After January 15 prepayment and prescheduling are required.Official guidance

What do I do with leftover paint?

Oil based paint and flammable oils go through the household hazardous waste home collection or a state regional site. Dry latex paint and its container may go in the regular trash, but liquid latex paint may not be taken by haulers and is saved for the health department's annual latex paint collection, usually in the summer.Official guidance

Where do old medications go?

To the DeKalb Police Department's 24 hour drop box in the front lobby, which the City lists as the route for prescription medications.Official guidance
