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.
Measure doors and turns, and check the manufacturer’s moving instructions. Folding and moving methods vary by model. Have any required disassembly handled before pickup; we start outside.

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 names no workout machine in any of its lists, so the route depends on whether the unit fits the bulk definition and how much it weighs.
City cost & eligibility
A machine that will not fit in a barrel but can still be collected and crushed by the trash truck falls inside the weekly bulk allowance, while the City requires a call before an item over 100 pounds goes out and does not publish what that call decides. Confirm the specific machine with the Recycling Department or the hauler, and expect a machine that is too heavy or too rigid for the truck to need a private hauler instead.
When & how
On the regular collection week as the one bulk item if the machine qualifies, or by a private arrangement if it does not.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart, and weigh the heaviest single piece before setting anything out. A machine over 100 pounds needs the call first, and loose weights or a console that will not stay with the frame should be kept together so the load can be lifted safely from the curb.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Waltham.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Waltham?+
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.
Where does exercise equipment go?+
The City does not name workout machines, so the test is the bulk definition itself: the item has to be something that will not fit in a barrel but can still be collected and crushed by the truck, and it counts as the one bulk item for that week. Call before anything over 100 pounds goes out, and take apart what can be separated so the heaviest piece is manageable.Official guidance
Who collects the trash in Waltham?+
The City runs the residential collection and a contracted hauler does the work, while the Recycling Department handles carts, disposal questions and the special appointments. The route serves buildings with six or fewer units, and a larger building arranges its own service.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day?+
The City publishes a pickup map that returns the trash and recycling day for an address, and the same map reports the A week or B week assignment used for yard waste. Trash and recycling are collected weekly on that day, and a holiday week pushes the rest of the week one day later.Official guidance
Who do I call about a missed pickup?+
Report a missed trash, recycling or yard waste collection on the city line during weekday hours, and the department can follow up with the hauler on the route. If the material went out after 7 a.m., do not call, because the City asks residents to hold it for the following week instead.Official guidance
How do I get another recycling cart?+
Call the Recycling Department, which supplies the household cart and takes requests for an extra one. A broken cart is repaired or replaced through the same call, and only the wheeled carts the City distributed are collected at the curb.Official guidance
What if my building has more than six units?+
The city collection route and the contracted mattress appointment both apply to buildings with six or fewer units, so a larger apartment building or condo complex arranges trash, recycling and bedding collection through building management, the condo association or a private company. The City also publishes a directory of donation and reuse options for residents in that situation.Official guidance
Does Waltham hold a recycling event?+
The City holds an annual Zero Waste Day at Nipper Maher Park where clothing, car tires, electronics, books and metal are recycled at no charge along with paper shredding. The date published in the current guide has already passed, so confirm the next date with the Recycling Department.Official guidance
