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.
The city does not name exercise equipment, so a treadmill or weight bench has to be confirmed as the weekly bulk item or taken to a dump site.
City cost & eligibility
There is no published rule for exercise equipment. The weekly bulk item carries no separate charge and a dump site load is free three times a month for a Gary address, but the city does not say whether a machine counts. Confirm with Republic Services at (219) 662-8600 before it goes out.
When & how
Ask the hauler whether the machine can ride as the single weekly bulk item, or take it to a dump site in a car or pickup truck with a Gary address identification.
Get it ready
Remove weights, fluids and batteries where possible, and keep a machine that could roll or tip away from the cart, the mailbox and the street.
Gary does not run an appointment system for bulky material. One bulk item goes out with each weekly Republic Services collection, so place it with the cart, keep it clear of the mailbox and the cart itself, and call (219) 662-8600 when the hauler has to confirm the item.
Three free dump site loads a month with Gary identification
A Gary resident may bring a pickup-truck-size load to 1525 Clay Street or 102 W. Columbus Drive three times a month at no charge, in a car or pickup truck only. Bring a driver's licence or state ID showing a Gary address, and expect to be turned away with a trailer, sideboards, commercial vehicle, dump truck or box truck.
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.

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?+

How do I get rid of a treadmill in Gary?+
The city publishes no exercise equipment rule. Ask Republic Services whether the machine counts as the one bulk item allowed with a weekly collection, or haul it to a dump site yourself, because an unconfirmed machine may not be collected.Official guidance
Does Gary charge for bulky item disposal?+
There is no published charge for the one bulk item that rides with the weekly Republic Services collection, and a Gary address may also bring a pickup-truck-size load to either city dump site three times a month free of charge.
