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.
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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
No Clifton list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item has to be confirmed against the bulk list before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment appears on no retained Clifton list, so it does not inherit the bulk acceptance. The bulk list covers mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, so a machine may be treated as furniture or may be refused, and the Recycling Office can be reached at 973-470-2239 to settle it.
When & how
Confirm the answer first, then use the first garbage day of the week if the city agrees, keeping the piece inside the two item limit and clear of the Thursday, Friday and Saturday set out ban.
Get it ready
Strip the console and any loose weights so the frame is lighter, fold the deck where the maker allows it, and keep the machine out of the garbage barrels while you wait for an answer.
Bulk waste has one window a week and a two item ceiling
The bulk waste list is mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, and the set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection. Clifton allows a maximum of two items on that first collection, lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied, and nothing goes out on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. A piece that misses the window waits for the following week.
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 Clifton.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Clifton?+
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.
Will Clifton take a treadmill as bulk waste?+
No Clifton list names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, so the item has to be confirmed rather than assumed. The bulk waste list is mattresses, furniture, wooden cabinets and doors, tables, lumber and rugs, taken on the first garbage day of the week within a two item limit, so call the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 and keep the machine off the curb until the city agrees it belongs on the list.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Clifton?+
The City of Clifton does, through its Recycling Division and Department of Public Works. Garbage is collected twice a week across six days of collection, with the only skipped holiday being Christmas Day, and each collection is capped at three barrels or tied bags in containers no larger than 35 gallons. The department is at 307 E 7th Street and answers collection questions on 973-470-2239, and the city also runs curbside recycling and the vegetative waste programme.Official guidance
Can bulk waste go out any day in Clifton?+
No. Bulk waste is collected on your first garbage day of the week, which is a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday collection, and the city will not take it on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The set out goes to the curb after 6 PM the night before, the limit is two items on that first collection only, and lumber and rugs have to be cut to four foot lengths and tied.Official guidance
