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.

Make the equipment easy to identify.
Place the booked equipment in an accessible outdoor spot. Keep any separated parts together, add a photo and clear location notes to your order, and leave the approach clear.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Exercise equipment is named on the county refusal list and is not named in the city's bulky list, so a treadmill or a home gym needs a confirmation call before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate exists for an exercise machine. If the city accepts it as a bulky item it rides the weekly service with no separate per-item charge, and if it does not, the household arranges something else. Confirm with Republic Services at 800-433-1309 or the city at 440-204-2500 option 4.
When & how
Call Republic Services at 800-433-1309 or the city at 440-204-2500 option 4 before the machine goes out, and describe its size and weight.
Get it ready
Fold the machine down as far as it will go so it reads as one item rather than several. Keep it out of the recycling bin, which refuses scrap metal and tools, and remember that the county collection center refuses exercise equipment outright, so the curb question is the only local one left to settle.
Furniture and appliances too large for the container go next to the blue trash container on your regular collection day, and bulk material is collected every week rather than by appointment. Put it out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before, keep it inside a curbside allowance of about five feet by five feet by five feet, and do not use large contractor bags because they are not collected.
What the county collection center takes and refuses
The Lorain County collection center at 540 S Abbe Road in Elyria takes electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and scrap tires on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and it is open to Lorain County residents, businesses and organizations only, with dumping prohibited. It refuses furniture of any kind, mattresses, appliances other than microwaves, construction and demolition debris, scrap metal, tools, exercise equipment, yard waste, tube televisions over 27 inches and any console or cabinet television.
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 Lorain collection through Republic Services, with the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District
City weekly curbside bulky collection
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, televisions and other oversized household items from a city address.
Cost & conditions
No charge. No separate per-item charge, because the bulky collection rides the weekly service billed on the city utility account. Extra trash in contractor bags is not collected, and anything past the curbside allowance has to be handled another way.
Arrange it
Set the load next to the blue container on your regular collection day, out by 7 a.m. and no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before. Bulk material is collected every week, so nothing has to be booked.
One bulky load of about five feet by five feet by five feet, or up to six 35-gallon bags at 35 pounds each. Mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture must be wrapped in plastic, Freon-bearing appliances must have the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician, and electronics, household hazardous waste, construction material, scrap metal, tires and yard waste do not belong in the pile.
Most bulky material in Lorain does not need a trip or an appointment: furniture, mattresses and appliances go next to the blue container on the regular weekly pickup, provided the mattress and upholstered pieces are wrapped in plastic and any Freon-bearing appliance has had the Freon removed and tagged by a certified technician. Electronics, household hazardous waste, microwaves and passenger tires go to the Lorain County collection center at 540 S Abbe Road in Elyria, open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, and passenger tires are also free at the city's New Tire Site on East 28th Street on Tuesdays. The center refuses furniture, mattresses, appliances other than microwaves, construction debris, scrap metal, tools, exercise equipment and yard waste, so project material and anything oversized goes to a private container or to the landfill the city names on Oberlin-Elyria Road in Oberlin.
