Book by 2pm for same-day pickup.

Choose items or browse the full catalog.

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

Special rules apply

Exercise machines are not named on any published list, so the item is confirmed with the hauler before it goes out.

City cost & eligibility
No published price covers an exercise machine because no list names the category, so call LRS, describe the machine and ask whether it is accepted as the weekly bulk item or as a special refuse collection with an estimate.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then either set it out as the single weekly bulk item or schedule the special collection with LRS.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, take off loose weights and the console, and keep the parts together. Leave it off the curb until LRS confirms the route, because an unscheduled extra item is not collected.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

One bulk item a week, and everything else by appointment

A single bulk item such as furniture, a bed frame or a mattress may sit next to the trash cart on the regular collection day. A second item, anything over 50 pounds, and any item needing extra labor or equipment has to be scheduled with LRS at least 24 hours ahead and is charged directly, and LRS will give a cost estimate for a special refuse collection.

For your Dropcurb pickup

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.

With a new purchase

Schedule an extra or heavy pickup with LRS

A household with more than one bulk item, an item over 50 pounds, or a sleeper sofa and similar piece that needs extra labor.

Cost & conditions
Extra pickups are charged directly by LRS and no amount is published, so call 844-633-3577 at least 24 hours before the wanted date to schedule the collection and confirm the price.
Arrange it
Call LRS customer service, list the items, send a photo if the item is awkward or heavy, and pay the quoted amount before the items go to the curb.

An item that is not scheduled is left behind, and the single weekly bulk item is the only large item the ordinary collection takes without a call.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

A Waukegan household that hauls its own material has three routes. Electronics go to the city dumpster at the Public Works yard on McAree Road on weekdays, or to a SWALCO year round drop-off such as the Wauconda site on North Old Rand Road, which is free to Lake County residents with no appointment and a limit of seven items per visit. Tires go to a separate dumpster in the same Public Works yard and have to be off the rims, and the textile bin just outside the gate is open around the clock. Household chemicals, paint, batteries, bulbs and pool products go to the SWALCO facility at 1311 N. Estes Street in Gurnee, which takes residential waste only and works by appointment twice a month except December, with mobile events from April through October. Leftover architectural paint can also go to a PaintCare retailer, and household batteries are free at the SWALCO collection and special material events.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

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

How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Waukegan?

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 the hauler take exercise equipment?

Exercise equipment is not on the published bulk example list, which names a bed frame, box spring, bicycle, chair, love seat or sofa, one part of a sectional, mattress, frame and wall picture. Call LRS and describe the machine before it is set out.Official guidance

How should a treadmill be set out?

Fold or break the frame down as far as it goes, remove the loose weights and the console, and keep the pieces together in one spot beside the cart. If LRS treats it as a special refuse collection, the pickup is estimated and scheduled before the machine goes out.Official guidance

What is a special refuse collection?

It is the route LRS uses for an item that needs extra labor or equipment, such as a sleeper sofa, construction debris or a television console, when it goes beyond the single weekly bulk item. LRS gives a cost estimate and does not guarantee that every item can be collected.Official guidance
