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 not named on the Materials Recovery Center price list, so a treadmill or weight machine is a question for the gatehouse. The site takes scrap metal free and small electric appliances free, and it prices mixed waste by the cubic yard, so most machines should have a route, but which one applies is decided on arrival.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine price is published. The centre takes scrap metal and small electric appliances free of charge and prices mixed waste by the cubic yard, so ask staff at the gatehouse which line the machine falls on and what it costs before unloading. Call 218-722-3336 with the machine's size and material mix before making the trip.
When & how
Take the machine to the Materials Recovery Center at 4587 Ridgeview Rd. during its Wednesday through Saturday hours, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and check in at the gatehouse first so the load can be assessed.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it will come apart and take the console off the frame so one person can unload it, because the centre is self service. Keep any removable battery pack out of the load or hand it in with the rechargeable batteries, which are free, and keep household garbage out of the load because the site refuses it.
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, and it publishes no curbside large item pickup. Residents contract a waste hauler, and most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, so all recyclables can go in one bin with no separation. The regional authority still requires residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated for recycling within that stream.
The Materials Recovery Center is self service, so the household unloads its own material. Visitors stop first at the gatehouse, where staff assess each load and calculate the fee, and then drive to the appropriate station for recycling, reuse or disposal. The Reuse Area opens only to people who have items to drop off, and it closes thirty minutes before the centre itself closes.
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 Duluth.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Duluth?+
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.
Who picks up trash in Duluth?+
The city does not collect household trash or recycling, so each household contracts a waste hauler. Most haulers in the region offer single stream recycling, which lets all recyclables go in one bin with no separation, and the regional authority still asks residents to keep aluminum, steel and tin containers, glass containers, magazines, newspaper, plastic containers, paper and corrugated cardboard separated within that stream. Everything too large for the bin goes to a district drop-off rather than to the curb.Official guidance
What can I take to the Materials Recovery Center?+
Furniture and household junk, mixed construction and demolition material, clean concrete with no rebar or embedded material, pallets and clean wood, appliances, mattresses and box springs, electronics, tires, scrap metal, household recyclables on a three sort system, food waste in compostable bags, film plastic that is clean and dry, holiday lights and electrical cords, CDs and DVDs out of their cases, and small electric appliances. Household garbage, household hazardous waste, and leaves or yard waste are not accepted there.Official guidance
