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 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 machines are not named on the curbside bulk list or on the county's bulky examples, so the household has to confirm with Waste Pro that the machine can be collected and how it is counted.
City cost & eligibility
Curbside bulk prices are $25.00 for one item up to the size of a standard couch up to 84 inches and $50.00 for two to five items, with payment arranged through Waste Pro when the pickup is booked. Because a machine is heavy and is not on the published list, confirm with Waste Pro that it qualifies and which tier applies before it goes to the curb.
When & how
Call Waste Pro at 980-325-3640 with the machine's size and weight, then set it out for the collection day the company confirms.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will go, keep loose weights with the frame, and leave anything that cannot be lifted by one person intact so the crew can plan for it. Drain fluids and remove any battery from a powered machine.
Curbside bulk service in Matthews is on call, so call Waste Pro at 980-325-3640 to schedule and pay for the pickup, then set the items out for the household's regular trash day. Keep the pile clear of the garbage and recycling carts, sidewalks, hydrants and mailboxes, and take the carts back in by midnight. Extra bags of garbage are collected only in the weeks after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.
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.

The bulk stream refuses household hazardous waste, e-waste, batteries and construction and demolition material, and carts must stay clear of the street and sidewalk.
Curbside bulk pickup in Matthews is an on-call service that Waste Pro schedules on the household's trash day after payment, with furniture, mattress sets and appliances priced by the item. Anything the bulk stream refuses, including televisions, computers, tires, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, construction and demolition material and household hazardous waste, moves through a Mecklenburg County full-service center instead, where a free resident entry sticker sets the fee group and household hazardous waste is free. The county sites are listed as open Monday through Saturday, and larger renovation loads have to go to the Foxhole Landfill.

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 I get rid of a treadmill in Matthews?+
Ask Waste Pro first. Furniture, couches, tables, chairs, clothing, mattresses and box springs are named on the bulk list, but exercise machines are not, so the company confirms whether the machine can be collected and whether it counts as one item at the one-item price or as a set. Bring the size and weight to the call at 980-325-3640.Official guidance
Who collects garbage and bulk items in Matthews?+
Waste Pro collects for the whole town under a contract that started in July 2023: garbage once a week, recycling every other week on the regular pickup day, yard waste weekly, and bulk waste or white goods on call. Bulk pickups have to be scheduled and paid for with Waste Pro at 980-325-3640, and a broken or additional cart also goes through the company. Items banned from North Carolina landfills, such as electronics, tires and construction material, go to a Mecklenburg County full-service center instead.Official guidance
What does a bulk pickup cost in Matthews?+
A single item up to the size of a standard couch up to 84 inches carries the one-item price, a set of two to five items carries the set price, and appliances are charged per unit. The pickup is scheduled and paid for in advance with Waste Pro, and the items go out on the regular trash day. A Mecklenburg County full-service center charges nothing for a single large bulky item such as a sofa or mattress set when the free resident entry sticker is displayed.Official guidance
