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.

Larger household items are collected once a week on the first garbage day of the week, and the published list covers appliances, furniture, mattresses, water heaters, computers and reasonably sized televisions.
City cost & eligibility
Heavy pick up is part of the residential collection service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax, and no separate per-item charge is published. Confirm the item and the pickup day with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810.
When & how
Put the item out on the first garbage day of the week. Garbage runs twice a week, so the heavy day is the earlier of the household's two collection days.
Get it ready
Keep the load inside the published conditions: carpet cut to five feet or less, rolled and under 50 pounds and dry before it goes out; swing sets pulled apart and cut down to five feet or less with a total of 300 pounds or less; doors cut in half. Projection televisions, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron, chemicals and construction material are refused.
No Friendswood page names exercise equipment, so the machine has to be confirmed before it goes out with the heavy pick up.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no exercise machine charge and does not name one on the heavy pick up list, so confirm the machine and any conditions with the city on 281-996-3232 or Waste Connections on 281-331-0810 first.
When & how
Confirm the machine, then put it out on the first garbage day of the week if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Take the console and loose weights off so the frame is manageable by hand, keep the machine clear of the cans and the bin, and keep it out of the construction material pile because that material is refused.
Heavy pick up rides the first garbage day of the week
Friendswood collects larger items once a week on the first garbage day of the household's two collection days. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters with the water removed, computers and reasonably sized televisions are all on the list, while carpet, swing sets and doors have their own cutting and weight conditions, and construction material, tires, chemicals and projection televisions are refused.
The collection trucks have no lifters, so every bag, can and heavy item is handled by the crew. Garbage bags and cans have to stay at 50 pounds or less and containers at 32 gallons or less, the recycling bin holds only what fits with extra material in a clear bag, and a heavy item that cannot be managed by hand has to be cut down or taken another route.
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.

Use the weekly heavy pick up
A Friendswood household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a water heater, a computer or a reasonably sized television.
Cost & conditions
No separate per-item charge is published for heavy pick up; it is part of the residential collection service billed at $23.10 per month plus 8.25% sales tax, and a technician's charge for removing Freon from a cooling appliance is separate. Confirm the item and the day on 281-996-3232.
Arrange it
Put the items at the curb before 7 a.m. on the first garbage day of the week, with the cutting and weight conditions applied to carpet, swing sets and doors.
Projection televisions, tires, fencing material, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron, chemicals and construction material are all refused, and a refrigerator or freezer is only collected once the Freon has been removed and the unit tagged.
Friendswood's own route is the weekly heavy pick up, which runs on the first garbage day of the week and carries furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters without water, computers and reasonably sized televisions, with carpet, swing sets and doors subject to cutting and weight conditions. A refrigerator or freezer only goes out after a licensed technician removes the Freon and tags the unit. Everything the city refuses, including construction material, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron and chemicals, has to be handled privately, and hazardous waste and electronics-type material can be taken to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, where Friendswood residents pay a fee per pound and should call 281-489-2795 for the current schedule.
