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.

Book a day you can be ready.
Choose from the available pickup dates before moving the machine out. Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Book by 2pm at the pickup address for same-day pickup.

Make the equipment easy to identify.
Place the booked equipment in an accessible outdoor spot. Keep any separated parts together, add a photo and clear location notes to your order, and leave the approach clear.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Exercise equipment is not named on the Cary lists or the Wake County lists, so the item has to be confirmed before it is moved. Wake County does take scrap metal at its convenience centers when power equipment has been drained of gas and oil.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine. Confirm with 311 whether the Cary center will take it as a bulky item, or check a Wake County convenience center's scrap metal rules, before moving the machine.
When & how
Call 311 during the week to confirm the route, then move the machine on the day the receiving site is open.
Get it ready
Describe the model, weight and dimensions, drain any gas and oil from power equipment, and break the frame down as far as it will go so two people can handle it.
Rollout carts go to the curb no earlier than dusk the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day, with the arrows on the lid pointing toward the street. Keep the cart out of the roadway and clear of light poles, mailboxes and fire hydrants, leave room between the garbage and recycling carts and the yard waste pile, and bring the emptied cart back in before 6 a.m. the next day.
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.
Town of Cary Solid Waste and Wake County facilities
Book a curbside special collection through 311
A Cary household with a couch, mattress, appliance or another bulky item that will not fit in the rollout cart.
Cost & conditions
The town says a scheduled special collection may carry a fee but publishes no amount, so confirm the charge with 311 when the collection is booked.
Arrange it
Call 311 inside Cary or (919) 469-4000 from outside town limits, or submit a request through the town's service system, and follow the set-out instructions it gives.
The cart service itself is for household garbage and recycling, and material the town refuses at its own facility, such as construction debris, paint, tires and treated lumber, stays off this route.
Town of Cary Solid Waste and Wake County facilities
Use a Wake County convenience center
A household with up to two mattresses, a homeowner's small construction load, scrap metal or bulky household material.
Cost & conditions
Wake County publishes no per load rate for household material at its convenience centers, and it charges a processing fee when additional mattresses go to the South Wake Landfill shredder. Confirm the current terms with 919-856-7400 before a large trip.
Arrange it
Drive to a participating site, such as Site 2 at 6120 Old Smithfield Road in Apex, Site 3 at 266 Aviation Parkway in Morrisville or Site 4 at 3600 Yates Mill Pond Road in Raleigh, open daily 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and be ready to show residency.
Appliances, automotive fluids, batteries, chemicals, concrete, brick and pavers, contractor waste and cooking oil are refused and routed to the specialist county facilities. Electronics are accepted only at sites 1, 4 and 11 on weekends, mattresses only at sites 1, 2, 4, 7 and 11 with a two per day limit, and household construction debris only from the homeowner with verification. A free Trash Pass is required before arriving with a box truck, dual-axle or enclosed trailer.
Cary residents have two ways to move bulky material themselves and one date to plan around. The Citizen's Convenience Center at 313 N. Dixon Ave. takes residential bulky items, recyclables, food waste and yard waste, and recycles appliances and electronics for a fee paid on site, but it refuses construction and remodeling debris, paint, motor oil, oil filters, tires, propane tanks, shingles, stumps, treated lumber, pallets, dirt, rocks, concrete and car batteries, and it does not admit commercial or contractor loads, box trucks or enclosed trailers. The town says the center keeps operating as usual through December 31, 2026, and that from January 1, 2027 only the food and yard waste drop-off remains, with Wake County facilities named as the replacement. Those county options are the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex for appliances, electronics, antifreeze, motor oil and oil filters, the Wake County Convenience Center Site 2 at 6120 Old Smithfield Road for up to two mattresses a day, homeowner construction debris with verification and scrap metal, and the South Wake Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 6150 Old Smithfield Road for paint, batteries, solvents and garden chemicals. Curbside carts, yard waste and the special collection request through 311 are not affected by the change.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in cary.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in cary?+
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 get rid of a treadmill in Cary?+
Ask 311 first, because exercise equipment is named on neither the Cary convenience center lists nor the Wake County lists. A metal frame may qualify as scrap metal at a Wake County convenience center, where power equipment has to be drained of gas and oil before it is accepted.Official guidance
Can exercise equipment go in the rollout cart?+
No. The town carts take household garbage and recycling and the trucks empty them with an automated arm, so a treadmill or weight machine has to be confirmed with 311 as bulky material, or checked as scrap metal at a Wake County convenience center, before anything is set out.Official guidance
