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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
An exercise machine is not named on any city list, and the heavy trash collection covers items that are not household garbage, so the machine has to be confirmed against the pile rules.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published, so call Public Works at 281-471-9650 and confirm the machine and how it fits the 10 cubic yard pile limit.
When & how
Call Public Works and confirm the machine, then put it on the heavy trash pile by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone if it is accepted.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where it can be, remove the battery and take it to the Recycle Center with the other batteries, tie down any loose deck or handle, and keep the pile inside the 10 cubic yard limit.
A heavy trash pile may not exceed 10 cubic yards, which the city describes as about 6 feet wide by 6 feet high by 8 feet long. If a pile is larger the city collects only 10 cubic yards and leaves the remainder, which can put the resident in violation for early set out, so the excess has to wait for the next scheduled collection or go to a private contractor at the resident's expense.
Heavy trash goes behind the curb rather than in the street, in front of the resident's own property and not across the street or in front of a neighbor, away from fences, mailboxes, low wires and low limbs, out by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled collection day and no earlier than five days before. The city is divided into six zones, the truck makes a single pass in the two day window, brush and yard waste stay separate from appliances and furniture, small items go in bags or boxes, and a refrigerator or freezer has to be empty with the doors removed or tied shut.
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 La Porte Public Works Solid Waste Division
Use the city garbage and heavy trash collection
A La Porte household with bagged household garbage and a heavy trash pile of furniture, appliances, brush or building debris.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no collection rate for either route, and the only published charge tied to the service is the 7.22 dollar additional roll of garbage bags from Utility Billing, so confirm any service question at 281-471-9650.
Arrange it
Put bagged garbage out by 7 a.m. on the Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday cycle, check the heavy trash zone and dates on the published 2026 map, and place the heavy trash pile behind the curb by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone.
The garbage bags cannot exceed 40 pounds, the heavy trash pile cannot exceed 10 cubic yards, the truck makes one pass, and rocks, bricks, ceramic tile, concrete, dirt, ashes, paint and hazardous materials are refused at the curb.
La Porte households put bagged household garbage out twice a week on either Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, with no bag over 40 pounds, and everything else goes on the heavy trash pile by 7 a.m. on the first scheduled day for the zone, inside the 10 cubic yard limit and no earlier than five days before. Because there is no curbside recycling, recyclables, electronics, rechargeable and automotive batteries, dry hardened paint cans, light bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, cooking oil and antifreeze go to the Recycle Center at 12201 N. C St., brush and yard waste can be dropped at Public Works at 2963 N 23rd Street after signing in, and the city household hazardous waste event takes materials such as large tires, appliances, flammables and gas cylinders that the center refuses.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in La Porte.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in La Porte?+
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 La Porte take a treadmill?+
No city list names an exercise machine, so call Public Works at 281-471-9650 and confirm the item against the heavy trash rules before setting it out. The heavy trash collection covers items that are not household garbage within a 10 cubic yard pile, and the rechargeable battery has to be taken to the Recycle Center at 12201 N. C St. rather than left with the machine.Official guidance
