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.

Book a day you can be ready.
Choose from the available pickup dates before moving the machine out. Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Book by 2pm at the pickup address for same-day pickup.

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 nowhere, and a machine heavy enough to need two people falls foul of the borough's weight and handling limit.
City cost & eligibility
No borough or authority page retained here names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, and the borough refuses any part of a bulk load that weighs over 40 pounds or is too large to handle, so the route has to be confirmed. Call 814-234-7135 to ask whether the machine can go on the bulk run and whether a charge applies.
When & how
Confirm with public works first, then book the Monday bulk run by five in the afternoon on the preceding Sunday if the machine qualifies.
Get it ready
Strip the console and any loose weights so the frame drops below the weight and handling limit, fold the deck where the maker allows it, and be ready to split the machine into parts the crew can actually lift.
One cart, one day, refuse, organics and recycling together
State College residential refuse runs Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on the address, with the day set when the account is opened through the Borough Finance Department. Refuse, organics and the red-bin recycling all come on the same collection day, the cart goes to the curb by 7 a.m. with the lid closed and three feet of clearance from trees, signs and other carts, and anything that does not fit goes beside the Borough cart in a container. Loose or fine waste such as ashes, plastic wrap, pet hair, kitty litter, tissues and packing peanuts has to be bagged, while larger items such as pizza boxes and lumber scraps can go straight in the cart. Carts come back off the street the same day, and residents who leave them out are subject to a fine.
The bulk run is booked, Monday only, three items at a time
Bulk refuse is collected by appointment on a run that starts Monday each week unless a Monday holiday cancels it entirely. The request has to reach the borough by five in the afternoon on Sunday, by form or by calling 814-234-7135, the items go to the curb by 6 am on the collection day and no more than 48 hours early, and no more than three items may be placed at once. Refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, furniture and similar household items are the collected materials, and bulk items are not picked up from alleys unless the property has no street frontage or normally uses an alley dumpster.
What the borough will not take, and where it goes instead
Building materials, tree limbs and any part of a bulk load that weighs over 40 pounds or is too large to handle are refused. Limbs can go to the Borough Recycling and Compost Facility, building materials to the Centre County authority, and both cost money. Tires are not collected either: they may go to the Centre County Transfer Station at cost, or to the Borough Maintenance Facility by prior arrangement on 234-7135, and the borough will remove them at cost only if no private arrangement can be made. Electronics cannot be disposed of as refuse at all and must reach the county authority, which takes covered devices free.
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.
Borough of State College Public Works with the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority
Book the borough bulk item collection
A Borough of State College household with furniture, an appliance, a television or another large household item to put out on the Monday run.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Borough residential refuse accounts, with up to three items per appointment and a charge possible on an excessive load, which public works confirms on 814-234-7135.
Arrange it
Submit the Bulk Refuse Pickup Form or call 814-234-7135 by five in the afternoon on Sunday, then put the items at the curb by 6 am on the collection day.
Three items at a time, no alley collection unless the property has no street frontage, nothing over 40 pounds or too large to handle, and no building materials, tree limbs, tires or unbagged fine waste.
Arrange a private haul for what the borough refuses
A household or landlord with building material, a load over the bulk limits, tires or a quantity of debris beyond the three item appointment.
Cost & conditions
The borough publishes no private hauling rate and charges only by arrangement for its own excessive load removals, so the price depends on the hauler, the material and the volume. Ask for a quote and confirm the destination before the load leaves the property.
Arrange it
Book a licensed hauler directly, or call the borough on 814-234-7135 to discuss a charged removal if no private arrangement can be made.
Nothing about a hauler load changes the borough's refusal of building materials and tires at the curb, and a hauler load still has to reach a permitted site.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in State College.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in State College?+
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 the borough take a treadmill?+
No page names a treadmill, elliptical or weight machine, and the borough refuses any part of a bulk load that weighs over 40 pounds or is too large to handle, which most machines are. The bulk item collection is the route to ask about, booked through 814-234-7135 for the Monday run, and the department also warns that a load it considers excessive may carry a charge.Official guidance
Who collects trash in State College?+
The borough does. Residential refuse collection runs Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday depending on the address, with the day set when the account is opened through the Borough Finance Department, and each household gets a Borough cart. Organics ride the green-lidded cart, red-bin recycling is collected by the Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority on the same day, and anything that does not fit goes beside the cart in a container, except during the leaf season when brush and loose leaves follow their own routes.Official guidance
How does a bulk item appointment work?+
