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.

Franklin collects bulky items on a Tuesday route that has to be arranged by phone, and everything the city will not take goes to a county convenience center or the landfill.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no per-item charge for an ordinary bulky piece, but specialty items such as wooden play sets, playground equipment, patio furniture, basketball goals and all types of fencing are collected only for an additional $125 fee. Confirm the item and any charge on 615-794-1516.
When & how
Call Sanitation and Environmental Services on 615-794-1516 to arrange the pickup, then place the items at the curb on the Tuesday, no later than 7 a.m.
Get it ready
Keep the pile at least five feet from anything on either side and clear of power lines and trees, and make sure the items are clearly identifiable as trash. Items the city will not take, including construction material, have to go to a county convenience center or the landfill.
No Franklin page names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed against the Tuesday bulky route before it goes out.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise machine charge, and the only published additional fee is the $125 specialty collection for items such as play sets, patio furniture and fencing, so confirm the machine and any cost on 615-794-1516.
When & how
Call first, then put the machine out on the Tuesday if the department accepts it.
Get it ready
Take the console and loose weights off so the frame is manageable, keep the machine clear of overhead lines and five feet from anything else, and keep it out of the rollout container.
