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.

Exercise equipment is not named on the Waco bulky rules, so the machine has to be confirmed before the monthly pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the bulky waste size and exclusion rules rather than an item list and does not name exercise equipment. Confirm the machine and its size with the solid waste division at (254) 299-2489 before requesting the pickup.
When & how
Ask before the monthly pickup so a refused machine does not sit at the curb, and remember that anything left out can attract the city's published per event penalty.
Get it ready
Describe the machine and its size when asking, break down what comes apart, and keep loose weights with the frame. Keep the machine inside the six by six by six foot pile limit and out of the brush pile.
A household with curbside service gets one bulky waste pickup each month, and it has to be requested in advance through the city form or the Waco curbside app. The pickup itself adds nothing to the bill, but a pile larger than six by six by six feet is quoted at an extra charge, and a pile that does not meet the requirements leaves the household with the estimated fee instead of a collection.
Keep the pile clear, separated and inside the size limit
Place the pile at least five feet from trees, mailboxes, water meters, fences and other obstructions, never under overhanging branches and never on top of a sprinkler head or water meter. Keep the bulk pile at least two feet from the brush pile, keep everything inside six by six by six feet, and remember that anything that fits in the gray cart should be bagged and tied for the regular trash instead.
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.
A Waco household with curbside carts and furniture, an appliance without refrigerant or another household item too large for the gray cart.

Waco gives a household two ways to move large material. The curbside route is one requested bulky waste pickup a month at no additional charge, with the pile capped at six by six by six feet, and it refuses Freon appliances, glass, tires, paint, chemicals, liquids, hazardous materials and construction material containing bricks, concrete or tiles. The drop-off route is the Cobbs Recycling Center on Trice Avenue, open Monday to Saturday, where the self-service recycling streams are open to everyone and a Waco resident with a current water bill and a matching photo identification gets four free bulky and brush trips a year, five gallons a month of latex paint and the same allowance of used motor oil, antifreeze and filters. Freon appliances go to Cobbs with a technician's tag or pay the center's removal fee, and tires are limited to four per visit off the rim with published fees. Computers and cell phones are the electronics the city takes, while scrapped out televisions and electronics, chargers and cables are refused, and a renovation load has no public route at all.
