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.

Bulk waste is collected twice a month on a designated Monday, and which Mondays applies depends on the normal trash day: a Tuesday or Wednesday household gets the first and third Mondays, and a Thursday or Friday household gets the second and fourth. The load is limited to four cubic yards.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bulk pickup is part of the residential collection the household already pays for through the city contract with Republic Services and no per-item fee is published for it. A roll-off container for a project is a quoted service instead.
When & how
Twice a month on the designated Monday, with items placed in the normal collection area.
Get it ready
Cut wooden items and carpet into four foot lengths or less, cut cabinets and hot tubs in half, and cut fence panels in half. Bag and tie loose material in bags of 50 pounds or less, drain appliances that hold water, and remove the oil and gas from a mower before it goes out.
Exercise equipment is not named on The Colony's acceptable bulk list, which covers furniture, appliances, water heaters, grills, half cut fence panels, carpet and lawn mowers. It is also not on the refused list, so it is an unlisted piece.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine is named on the city's bulk lists and no item rate is published, so confirm acceptance and any charge with the city at 972-624-3131.
When & how
Confirm the machine with the contractor before the designated bulk Monday.
Get it ready
Call the city at 972-624-3131 and describe the machine and its size, break it down where that helps the crew, and keep it out of both carts. If it is accepted, keep it inside the four cubic yard load and bag and tie any loose weights or parts.
Bulk pickup runs twice a month on a Monday set by the household trash day: Tuesday and Wednesday routes use the first and third Mondays, and Thursday and Friday routes use the second and fourth Mondays. Items go in the normal collection area and the load is limited to four cubic yards.
Carts closed, three feet clear, nothing beside them
Carts go out by 7 a.m. on the collection day at the alley edge or driveway flares with the lids fully closed, at least three feet from the nearest object. All trash has to be inside the cart, because bags, boxes and other carts are not picked up, and green waste goes out in paper lawn bags or the household's own container with no plastic bags.
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 The Colony Environmental Services Division, contracting Republic Services
Use the twice monthly bulk Monday
A household with a couch, carpet, an appliance, a water heater, a grill, a mower or extra bags of trash that the cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Bulk pickup is part of the residential collection the household already pays for through the city contract and no per-item fee is published for it.
Arrange it
Set the material out on the designated Monday for your trash day, in the normal collection area, with the load kept inside four cubic yards and loose items bagged and tied.
Four cubic yards per collection, two collections a month, and no hazardous liquids, large metal objects, big construction debris, tires, televisions or steel and fence posts. Freon units need a technician's paperwork attached.
Self-hauling in The Colony runs through the city's own drop-off programme. The household hazardous waste site at 5576 N. Colony Blvd, in the parking lot east of Fire Station #2, takes electronics including televisions of all sizes, household chemicals, oil based paints, solvents, gasoline in a five gallon container, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, medications and sharps, and it opens three times a month with a Texas driver's licence and a current utility bill needed at the gate. Oil, antifreeze, car batteries and tires may also be taken to the city maintenance drop-off at 1 Harris Plaza, Suite 2, Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. A household with an active water account can ask City Hall for a landfill pass that allows one trip into the Camelot Landfill, and construction and demolition loads are refused in the bulk pile, so they go into a roll-off container reserved through the contractor. The curbside bulk Monday remains the cheapest route for furniture, appliances, carpet and extra bags of trash.
