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.

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 trash definition, so the route has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
The city names furniture, bedding, debris and rubbish in its trash definition and does not list exercise equipment, and it publishes no rate, so confirm whether a machine is collected with the trash with Public Works at 337-491-1220.
When & how
Call 337-491-1220 first, and if the machine is accepted set it out with the trash that will not fit the city container.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, remove any battery pack so it does not go into the wrong stream, and keep it clear of the garbage container and the recycling stream.
Garbage is bagged inside the city container and collected weekly
Garbage is the city's term for all solid or semi-solid kitchen refuse subject to decay along with its packaging, and the ordinance also counts waste paper, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household as garbage. All garbage belongs in plastic bags inside the city-provided ninety-eight-gallon container, and specific pickup questions go to Public Works at 337-491-1220.
Trash is everything that will not fit the container, and white goods need a call
Trash is any refuse other than garbage and includes furniture, bedding, debris and rubbish normally produced in a household that will not fit in the ninety-eight-gallon container, and the city collects trash and yard waste from residences at least twice a month. White goods are picked up too, but the owner has to call ahead to 337-491-1220, items must be free of perishable food with doors or lids removed or taped shut, and any refrigerant must be professionally removed before collection.
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.
