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.

Treadmills, exercise bikes and home gyms are not named in the City's bulk examples, so check the item with the CART office before requesting a pickup.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not listed among the City's bulk examples. Once an item is accepted as household bulk it follows the published per-item rates, but confirm that it qualifies before you pay, or ask the CART office how it should be disposed of.
When & how
Email the CART office before you file the request so a machine that is not eligible does not sit uncollected at the curb.
Get it ready
If the item is accepted, treat it as one bulk item, have it at the curb on the scheduled Thursday, and note that anything smaller than the City's bulk definition belongs with your regular trash service instead.
Anything too large for the blue trash cart with the lid closed, and likely over 30 pounds or 4 feet long, is a bulk item that the City collects on Thursdays by request.
City cost & eligibility
$33 for the first bulk item on a scheduled Thursday collection, with each additional item at $16.50. City of Lansing households, with the pickup requested with the City's form and paid before it is scheduled. Households that meet the City's income qualifications can ask for one free item each year.
When & how
Measure the item against the City's definition, request the pickup, pay from the emailed instructions, and have it at the curb on the scheduled Thursday.
Get it ready
Count each item separately because the additional-item rate applies to everything after the first. Keep yard waste and recyclables out of the bulk request, since the City runs those as separate CART collections.
Bulk items are only picked up on Thursdays, and only after the pickup is requested and paid for. If the item is not at the curb on the Thursday the work order names, it may have to wait until the following Thursday.
Nothing is scheduled until the payment is made. After the bulk item form is submitted, watch for the email with the payment and pickup instructions, then pay online, by mailed check, in person at the Treasurer's Office in City Hall, or on the automated phone line.
The City's ordinance puts containers in the right-of-way no earlier than 4:00 p.m. the day before collection and expects them back off the right-of-way by 7:00 a.m. the day after. Plan a bulk item for the same Thursday window rather than leaving it at the curb all week, because left-out material can draw a fine.
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.
