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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
An exercise machine is not named on the city bulky list or on the county item lists, so it needs a confirmation call before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not named on any published list, so call Environmental Services at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 with the machine, its size and the address before scheduling a pickup.
When & how
When the city accepts the piece, a bulky pickup is scheduled two business days before the household collection day, which runs Tuesday through Friday depending on the street address.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart, tie the cord and any loose parts to the frame, and set it at the curb away from automobiles, mailboxes, fences, wires and limbs. Never place an exercise machine in the rollout cart or the recycling cart.
Bulky items that will not fit a rollout cart are collected by appointment on the household trash day, with furniture, mattresses, box springs, windows and mirrors, lawn equipment and up to two automobile tires on the list.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no bulky item fee on the program pages, and the rates and fees page states that it is being updated for fiscal year 2026-27, so confirm any charge at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 when the pickup is scheduled.
When & how
Schedule two business days before the household collection day, which runs Tuesday through Friday depending on the street address, and the county convenience centers take bulky items on their own attendant hours for a household holding a permit.
Get it ready
Put bulk out by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, away from automobiles, mailboxes, fences, utility boxes, wires and limbs, tape the glass on a window or mirror and mark both sides, and drain the fluids from lawn equipment. Keep dirt, rocks, concrete, blocks, bricks, hazardous or flammable material, ashes, sawdust, roofing shingles, car parts, batteries, logs, stumps, closed containers, propane or oxygen cylinders and commercial tires out of the pile.
Out by 6:30 a.m., and the empty cart comes in by midnight
Carts, bulk items and yard waste go out by 6:30 a.m. on the collection day, and the empty cart comes back in by midnight. Anything left out after the truck passes waits for the next scheduled collection day.
Lid opening toward the street, handles toward the house
A rollout cart sits behind the curb and never in the street, with the lid opening toward the street and the handles toward the house, three feet apart from other carts and clear of automobiles, mailboxes, yard waste, bulky items and poles.
A bulky item, appliance or tire pickup is scheduled by calling Environmental Services at 252-467-4980 or 252-467-4981 two business days before the household collection day, and an appliance rides the same day as household trash.
Hazardous material and building debris never go to the curb
Wet paint, motor oil, flammable liquids, hot ashes and other hazardous material stay out of every cart, and building material such as lumber, bricks, roofing, carpet and sheetrock is not residential solid waste and is never collected 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.
