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.

Lowell's contract with Waste Management covers bulk item curbside pickup, but the city states that big or bulky items have to be scheduled with the hauler instead of being set out with the carts. Nothing goes to the curb earlier than the day before collection, and items have to sit in front of the household's own property.
City cost & eligibility
Lowell publishes no bulky item fee, item list or scheduling number on the pages reviewed, so confirm the accepted items, the scheduling window and the current charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309.
When & how
Call Waste Management to schedule the pickup, then set the items out no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection. The city warns that early set-out and putting material in front of another property are violations, with fines attached.
Get it ready
Keep the set-out in front of your own address, out no earlier than the day before the collection, and away from the cart, the sidewalk and the roadway. Massachusetts waste bans still apply to the load, so mattresses, textiles, white goods, cathode ray tubes, construction material, metals, wood and tires have to be confirmed with the hauler rather than mixed into a general pile.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's waste material or on the bulky pages, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with the hauler before it goes out. A machine is not cart material.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not named anywhere in the Lowell material reviewed, and the city publishes no bulky item fee, so confirm both the acceptance and the charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309.
When & how
Call Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309 to confirm the machine, then schedule the pickup rather than setting it out on a normal collection night.
Get it ready
Fold or dismantle the machine if the maker allows it and keep the parts together as one item. Keep it out of both carts and out of the pile until the hauler confirms acceptance, and keep the set-out in front of your own property no earlier than the day before collection.
Bulky items need a booking and their own property line
Big or bulky items have to be scheduled with Waste Management, and nothing goes out earlier than the day before the collection. Items have to sit in front of the household's own property, because the city attaches fines to early set-out and to placing material in front of another address.
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.
City of Lowell Solid Waste and Recycling Office with Waste Management
Schedule a bulky item pickup with Waste Management
A household with a couch, a large furniture piece or another bulky item that will not go out with the weekly carts.
Cost & conditions
Lowell publishes no bulky item fee, so confirm the amount and the accepted items with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309 before the pickup is booked.
Arrange it
Contact Waste Management to schedule the collection, then put the items out no earlier than the day before the scheduled date and keep them in front of your own property.
The city publishes no item list for the bulky route, the Massachusetts waste bans still apply, and early set-out or material in front of another property carries a fine.
A household with more waste than the cart and purple bags can hold that does not want to order a full container.
Cost & conditions
The city describes the Bagster as a bag bought from a store with collection arranged separately and priced by the service, so confirm the bag and collection amounts at the point of purchase and with the collection provider.
Arrange it
Buy the bag at a home improvement store or online, fill it within its published size and weight limits, and schedule the collection online.
Electronics, appliances, tires, food and toxic or hazardous material are not accepted in a Bagster, and the state waste bans still apply to what goes inside.
Lowell does not run its own drop-off centre for household bulky material, so self-haul means a scheduled pickup through Waste Management or a private hauler, or a reuse or donation stop. Massachusetts waste bans matter here: mattresses and box springs, textiles, white goods such as refrigerators and washers, cathode ray tubes, construction material, metals, wood and whole tires cannot be disposed of as ordinary waste, so those loads need a hauler that handles them properly. The city lists donation and reuse options around Lowell, including a retail store that takes mattresses and box springs, a reuse store for building material, and textile and household goods charities, and it holds registered household hazardous waste days for paint, chemicals and similar products. Confirm the receiving service and its charge before anything leaves the property, and keep the set-out in front of your own address no earlier than the day before collection.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lowell.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Lowell?+
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.
How do I schedule a bulky item pickup in Lowell?+
Big or bulky items have to be scheduled with Waste Management, because the city does not take them as an ordinary curbside set-out. Put the items out no earlier than the day before the scheduled collection, keep them in front of your own property, and confirm the item list and the charge with the hauler or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309.Official guidance
Will Waste Management collect a treadmill?+
Exercise equipment is not named in the Lowell material reviewed, so call first. A machine is a bulky item rather than cart material, so confirm acceptance and the charge with Waste Management or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309, then schedule the pickup and set the machine out no earlier than the day before collection.Official guidance
What counts as a bulky item in Lowell?+
A big or bulky item is anything the city will not take with the weekly carts, and Lowell states that those items have to be scheduled for pickup with Waste Management. Furniture and other large household pieces travel that way, while items covered by the state waste bans need a receiving service that handles them properly.Official guidance
Does Lowell publish a bulky pickup charge?+
No. The city states that big or bulky items must be scheduled with Waste Management but publishes no fee or item list for the service, and it also publishes no per household collection rate. Confirm the charge and the accepted items with the hauler or the Solid Waste and Recycling Office at 978-674-4309 before booking.Official guidance
When is trash and recycling collected in Lowell?+
Trash is collected every week and recycling every other week. The city asks residents to refer to the collection schedule on the city homepage for the day and week that apply to the address, and to have the carts out the night before with the lids closed. The hauler asks for the container on the street with the wheels against the curb by 7 a.m. and removed the same day, and when a holiday falls on a collection day the route moves one day later for the rest of the week.Official guidance
