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.

Bulk waste is collected at the curb on the normal collection day up to six cubic yards, with furniture, mattresses and resident-performed remodelling debris named as acceptable.
City cost & eligibility
Bulk collection runs on the same Solid Waste User Fee that funds the cart programme and the city publishes no per item bulky charge, so confirm the load and the fee status on 757-933-2311 before setting it out.
When & how
Set the bulk waste out after 3 PM the day before the collection day and have it at the curb no later than 7 AM on the collection day, adjoining the property that generated it.
Get it ready
Keep the load to six cubic yards for the collection day, including any vegetative waste, put limbs and brush in a separate pile cut to sections no larger than 6 feet by 6 inches, and use transparent bags for leaves and grass because dark bags are refused. Bags containing household refuse, boxes or plastic tubs filled with debris, tires, styrofoam, paint and liquids are all refused.
Exercise equipment is named on no city list, so the machine has to be confirmed before it goes out with a bulk load.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for an item it does not name, so call 757-933-2311 and confirm whether the machine is taken as bulk waste and what it costs.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division before the machine goes out, and if it is accepted, set it out with the bulk waste after 3 PM the day before collection.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart and keep the loose weights with the frame so the load stays inside the six cubic yard limit and can be handled safely.
Six cubic yards, one pile for brush and a dark bag rule
Bulk waste goes out after 3 PM the day before the collection day and must be at the curb no later than 7 AM, adjoining the property that generated it. Six cubic yards is the most a resident can put out in one collection day, counting bulk and vegetative waste together, and another six cubic yards can go to the Recovery Operations Center under the same eligibility. Limbs and brush stay in a separate pile and are cut to sections no larger than six feet by six inches, leaves and grass go in transparent bags because dark bags are refused, and boxes or tubs filled with debris are refused as well.
The waste has to belong to the resident and the fee has to be assessed
Bulk waste must be generated by the resident, and a current Solid Waste User Fee has to be assessed on the property before the city will collect it. Debris from anyone other than the resident, from a commercial site, from a vacant property that has been empty more than 60 days, or from a vacant lot is refused, so a load produced by a hired contractor needs a different arrangement.
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.
