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 not named in the city's bulk answer, the hard to recycle list or the appliance programme, so a machine has to be confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No city, county or programme list names a treadmill or weight machine. Larger items are taken at the curb only when the truck has room and metal bearing items are refused, so confirm the machine and its weight with the Public Works dispatcher at 570-348-4178 before it goes out.
When & how
Call the dispatcher before the collection day, and be ready to keep the machine if the city or a scrap yard will not take it.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its weight when calling, remove loose weights and accessories, and strip metal parts where that is safe, because metal bearing items are refused. Keep the machine out of the garbage can and the recycling.
Everything goes out on the regular refuse day, not before
Garbage and commingled recycling are collected on the same weekly route, and material should go to the curb no earlier than the night before the scheduled pickup. A weekday holiday pushes every collection that week one day later. Missed garbage goes to the Public Works dispatcher at 570-348-4178.
The city refuses items containing metal at the curb and says metal must be removed from an item and disposed of separately. That is why appliances, metal furniture and exercise machines with steel frames belong with a scrap yard or a separate programme rather than the refuse route, and why the dispatcher should be asked about anything that has springs or a metal frame.
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 Scranton Bureau of Refuse and Recycling with Lackawanna County
Larger items with the regular refuse collection
A city household with a couch, a mattress or another large household item that has no metal in it.
Cost & conditions
No charge. City of Scranton household on a municipal refuse route. No bulky pickup fee or appointment is published, and larger items are taken with the regular collection only when there is room on the truck.
Arrange it
Put the item out on the regular refuse day no earlier than the night before, and call the Public Works dispatcher at 570-348-4178 if it was left behind or if it contains metal.
No appointment and no guarantee: household garbage is collected first, so a larger item may be left behind on a busy day. Items containing metal are refused and the metal has to be removed and disposed of separately, which in practice rules out most appliances and any piece with a steel frame or springs.
Ferrous scrap including stainless steel and alloys and non-ferrous scrap including copper, brass, aluminium, lead and aluminium cans, with residential homeowners among the customers the yard names, and microwaves, scrap metals, refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and air conditioners among the items the city routes here.
This is a scrap metal yard rather than a refuse site, so it takes metal bearing material rather than general household waste, and it sets its own terms on what it will buy. Keep refrigerant units upright for transport and confirm whether the unit has to be emptied before delivery.
Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Telephone (570) 342-5242.
The yard buys scrap and sets its own pricing, so the terms depend on the material and the market. Call before loading to confirm what the yard will take and what it pays.
