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.

No Fargo page names exercise equipment. The transfer station takes metals such as grills, shelving, lawn mowers, patio furniture, snow blowers and bed frames at no charge from residents, and the Solid Waste crews collect large items by arrangement, but a treadmill or a weight machine is not on any published list.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published and no page names one. Call the Solid Waste Department at 701.241.1449 to confirm whether the machine goes with the free transfer station load or needs a paid crew pickup, which is priced by amount and weight.
When & how
Confirm the machine first, then either take it to the transfer station during landfill hours, Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., or book the crew pickup on 701.241.1449.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, remove or tape any battery pack, and keep metal parts together so they can travel with the metals the transfer station already recycles. Keep the machine out of the garbage cart, which takes household garbage only.
Garbage carts go to the end of the driveway, the alley or the boulevard by 8 a.m. on the collection day and come off the boulevard by 6 p.m. or after collection, whichever is later. Carts need five feet of space from every other object so the arm can grab them, and they never sit on top of a snowbank.
The free transfer station trip needs proof of residency
The residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill is open to Fargo residents only, runs with the landfill from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and asks for proof of residency such as a City of Fargo utility bill. Commercial waste, building materials and concrete are not accepted there even from a resident.
Electronics and hazardous waste stay out of every pile
The landfill and the garbage carts ban electronics and mercury containing devices, and Cleanup Week refuses electronics, paint, stains and varnish as well. Paint, thinners, cleaners, poisons, automotive fluids, fluorescent bulbs and used motor oil belong at the household hazardous waste facility on 43 1/2 Street North, and one computer set and one television per resident a month go there too.
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.
A Fargo household with furniture, a large item, household garbage, metal, cardboard, automotive batteries or a non Freon appliance.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Fargo residents only, with proof of residency such as a City of Fargo utility bill, at the residential transfer station in building 4 at the landfill.
Arrange it
Drive to the landfill at 2301 8th Avenue North during landfill hours, Monday to Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. or Saturday from 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m., and take the load to building 4. The programme takes non Freon appliances up to two a month along with cardboard, automotive batteries, metals such as grills, shelving, lawn mowers, patio furniture, snow blowers and bed frames, household garbage, furniture and large items.
The transfer station is a Fargo resident programme and needs proof of residency. Non Freon appliances are capped at two a month, commercial waste is not accepted, building materials and concrete are not accepted, and electronics and hazardous waste are banned from the site.
A household that cannot haul the item itself and wants it collected from the property.
Cost & conditions
No rate is published for the service. The city states that the fee for a call-in large item pickup is based on the amount and weight and is added to the homeowner utility bill, so call 701.241.1449 for the current figure. Extra bags outside the cart are 3 dollars each for bags up to 33 gallons.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Department on 701.241.1449 to schedule the collection. The line is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday except legal holidays, and the charge lands on the utility account rather than being paid at the curb.
The service is for small amounts of building material, furniture, appliances and automotive parts rather than a whole house clearance, it has to be arranged in advance, and the household is billed for the weight collected. Apartment residents are told to ask the landlord about large item disposal instead.
