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.

Exercise equipment is named in the City's per item metal and white goods recycling route through the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
$26.91 for the published per item charge that covers white goods, appliances, metal items, lawn mowers, snow blowers and exercise equipment, paid to the hauler when the pickup is scheduled. Eligible Medford residents who schedule and pay through Waste Management on 800-972-4545, with the pickup available only on Tuesdays.
When & how
By appointment through the hauler, on a Tuesday, rather than on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart so the crew can lift it, and keep loose weights with the frame. Keep it off the sidewalk until the late afternoon or evening before the Tuesday pickup, and keep it out of the recycling bin, which takes only food and beverage cans and aluminum foil, then route the machine to the Tuesday metals pickup.
Bulky items and metals are two different hauler routes
A sofa, a desk or an area rug goes through the bulky item collection at the published per item charge, while a white good, appliance, metal item, lawn mower, snow blower or piece of exercise equipment goes through the metals route at its own per item rate, and a television or monitor at a higher rate again. Both are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the metals and electronics pickups happen only on Tuesdays.
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.

Call the hauler, name the item so the right rate is applied, pay for the pickup, and have it ready at the sidewalk the afternoon before the Tuesday visit.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Medford.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Medford?+
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.
Can exercise equipment be recycled?+
Yes. Medford lists exercise equipment with white goods, appliances, metal items, lawn mowers and snow blowers at one published per item rate, scheduled and paid for through the hauler on 800-972-4545, and picked up only on Tuesdays.Official guidance
Who collects the waste in Medford?+
Waste Management, under the city contract, with the City setting the rules. Curbside trash and single stream recycling come on the same day, bulky items and the metals and electronics routes are scheduled and paid through the hauler, and the department of public works on 781-393-2417 handles City questions and the City Hall drop off.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day and bin schedule?+
Follow the City calendar and the blue or green bin schedule for the address, which sets the weeks for recycling and the collection day. Recyclables go out on the same day as trash, both by 7:00 a.m., and nothing is placed at the sidewalk before the late afternoon or evening of the day before pickup.Official guidance
Where do batteries go?+
Nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries and cell phones can be recycled at City Hall Room 304 through the department of public works, and button cell batteries and mercury bearing devices go to the same office. Batteries are excluded from the curbside recycling bin.Official guidance
Can clothing and textiles be recycled?+
Yes, through a City partnership that collects unwanted clothing and textiles, with a three bag minimum for a pickup to keep routes efficient. Bagged textiles can also be dropped at collection bins at Medford public schools, including Curtis Tufts, McGlynn and Missituk, and those donations generate funding for each school's parent teacher organization.Official guidance
What is the cheapest way to clear a large item?+
Donation first, since the City lists Vietnam Veterans of America and the Salvation Army for usable items and asks residents to consider donating before scheduling a pickup. After that the cost depends on the item: the bulky furniture rate is the lowest published charge, white goods, metal items and exercise equipment are higher, and a television or monitor is higher again.Official guidance
