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.

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 not named in the bulky item definition, which the city writes as anything too big for the regular bin such as furniture. A treadmill or weight machine meets the size test, so book it as the monthly bulky item pickup and confirm the piece with 311 first.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published. The city gives one free bulky item or appliance pickup a month to homeowners inside the city limits and charges additional items by the cubic yard, so confirm the machine on 311 and book it as the monthly bulky item before setting it out.
When & how
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the online request, and the machine goes out on the assigned date, which is the next available trash day.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it will come apart and take the console off the frame so one crew can handle it. Keep it out of both bins, place it within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the assigned date and no earlier than 24 hours before, and keep three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles.
One free bulky or appliance pickup and one free yard waste extra pickup a month
Homeowners inside the city limits get one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste extra pickup every month at no charge, and both are booked for the next available trash day. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number. Further pickups in the same month are charged by the cubic yard, and any total over a stated threshold needs the resident's approval before removal.
Wait for the assigned date before putting anything at the curb
An extra pickup is scheduled rather than automatic, and the city warns that placing an item at the curb before the assigned date can bring a citation from Code Enforcement. Items should not sit out more than 24 hours before the pickup, they go within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. on the day, and they need three feet of clearance from trees, fences and utility poles. Summer demand can push a date out two or three weeks, so request before a deadline.
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.
Book the free monthly bulky item or appliance pickup
A homeowner inside the city limits with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, an exercise machine or another item too big for the regular bin.
Cost & conditions
No charge. One appliance or bulky item pickup a month is free for homeowners inside the city limits and lands on the next available trash day. Each additional item or cubic yard in the same month is charged at $20 per cubic yard, and any total over $100 needs the resident's approval before removal.
Arrange it
Call 311 on a weekday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. or submit the city online request, and the pickup date comes back in the confirmation. Only the primary account holder can schedule, and the city asks for the last four digits of a social security number.
Electronics, hazardous material, loose debris and anything with human or animal bodily fluids are not accepted on the pickup, and appliance doors and lids have to be removed or taped shut. Items go out only after the assigned date, no more than 24 hours before the pickup and no earlier, because early placement can bring a citation.

Before you book

Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in South Bend.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in South Bend?+
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.
Who collects trash in South Bend?+
The city Solid Waste division does the work itself, not a franchise hauler. It runs weekly trash collection for every city address from Monday through Thursday, with trash, yard waste and extra pickups all on the same day for a household, and service is delayed by one day when a city holiday falls on the collection day. Residents sign up when they start water service, and 311 handles scheduling and questions.Official guidance
What is the free monthly extra pickup?+
Homeowners inside the city limits can request one appliance or bulky item pickup and one yard waste pickup each month at no charge, and both are scheduled on the next available trash day. The bulky item allowance covers anything too big to fit the regular bin, with furniture as the city's example, and the yard waste allowance covers up to 10 30-gallon biodegradable bags or a cubic yard of bundled and tied limbs. A second pickup in the same month is charged by the cubic yard.Official guidance
