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.

Large items that will not fit the refuse cart go out on the regularly scheduled collection day, with no appointment mentioned, and the list is written as including but not limited to the named examples.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per item bulk collection charge, so confirm the load and any fee with the Division of Refuse and Recycling at (216) 252-4322.
When & how
On the regularly scheduled collection day, alongside the refuse and recycling set out.
Get it ready
Wrap and seal upholstered furniture, mattresses, box springs and carpet rolls in plastic, because those are the items the rules single out. Tape or tie carpet into 4 foot rolls, break the glass out of a window and contain it separately, dismantle a basketball hoop, and keep contractor-generated material off the curb, because contractors are responsible for their own debris.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulk list, although that list is written as including but not limited to large items that will not fit the cart, so the machine has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment category or charge is published, so confirm the machine with the Division of Refuse and Recycling at (216) 252-4322.
When & how
Confirm first, then put the machine out with the bulk items on the regular collection day if the division approves it.
Get it ready
Take the machine down where it allows and keep the loose weights with it. Remove any battery pack so it does not go into the recycling cart, and keep the machine clear of the collection path.
Wrap the upholstered items before they go to the curb
The rules require upholstered furniture including leather, mattresses, box springs and carpet rolls to be wrapped and sealed in plastic. Carpet is taped or tied into 4 foot rolls, a window has its glass broken out and contained separately, a basketball hoop is dismantled, and dirt, rocks and sod go out contained. King-size mattress bags are sold at the Drop-Off Facility and Recycling Center for three dollars each, paid by cash, credit or debit.
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.
City of Lakewood Department of Public Works, Division of Refuse and Recycling
