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 defined as material too large for the normal containers, such as appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other debris, and the city treats that material as regular or routine residential solid waste rather than as a special service. The bulk page gives its own examples of what is collectible and what is not the city's responsibility.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the residential sanitation service for a qualifying property. A load beyond what the city treats as routine, including demolition, renovation and remodeling debris, has to be disposed of by the homeowner, who can deliver it to the Salem or Tinker Creek transfer stations under the resource authority's rules.
When & how
Set the qualifying pile at the curb or the normal collection site on the scheduled collection day, and expect the collection on a normal waste collection day or at the earliest scheduled time.
Get it ready
Keep the load routine in size and type. The page's collectible examples are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of busted fencing, a room of dirty carpet, pruned tree branches no longer than six feet, and basement or attic clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed, while the remnants of a remodeled bathroom or kitchen, an entire backyard of broken fencing, a houseful of bad carpet, multiple cut trees and eviction material beyond the pickup truck limit are not the city's responsibility.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulk definition, the collectible examples or the prohibited list, so a treadmill or weight machine is confirmed with the Sanitation Division before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment rule or fee is published and routine bulk carries no separate charge, so call the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 and describe the machine, since the division states that a household may be required to arrange disposal depending on the quantity or type of debris.
When & how
Confirm the machine, then put it out on the scheduled collection day only if the division accepts it as routine bulk.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart, keep it clear of overhead obstructions at the collection point, and keep it away from prohibited items such as gas cylinders, fuel cans, vehicle parts and hazardous material.
Set the pile at the curb of the property that generated it, or at the normal collection site, clear of overhead obstructions, on the scheduled collection day. Appliances need the door removed or secured, the unit emptied and any gas evacuated; the collectible examples on the city page are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of fencing, a room of carpet, branches no longer than six feet and clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed.
Waste from work that needed a building permit, waste generated by a contractor or a paid worker, land clearing debris on unimproved residential property, dirt, rock and masonry debris, stumps, hazardous materials, gas cylinders, fuel tanks, fuel cans, barrels, items too large to be handled safely, items used in an industrial or commercial process and vehicle parts are all barred from bulk collection. Prohibited material must not be set out in a way that signals a need for collection.
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.

Put routine bulk at the curb
A Salem household with furniture, an appliance, residential yard waste or another routine item too large for the tote.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Included in the city residential sanitation service, with no separate curbside charge published for routine bulk. Every single-family home in the city qualifies, and so does a multi-family property that uses city sanitation for its normal scheduled collection.
Arrange it
Set the pile at the curb of the property that generated it, or at the normal collection site, clear of overhead obstructions, on the scheduled collection day.
Demolition, renovation and remodeling debris is outside the service, permitted work and contractor waste are the contractor's or owner's responsibility, appliances have to meet the door, emptying and gas conditions, and the prohibited materials list applies.

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.
What counts as Salem bulk waste?+
Material too large for the normal totes or dumpsters, such as appliances, furniture, residential yard waste and other debris, which the city treats as regular or routine residential solid waste. The page's own examples are a broken toilet or storm door, a section of busted fencing, a room of dirty carpet, pruned tree branches no longer than six feet, and basement or attic clean-out items that would fit in a pickup truck bed.

What does Salem charge for trash and bulk pickup?+
Routine residential collection, brush and bulk waste are part of the city sanitation service and no separate curbside charge is published, so a qualifying pile costs nothing beyond the service the household already has. The transfer stations are free for a Salem household for a total of twelve drop-offs a calendar year across the Salem and Tinker Creek sites, the listed household chemicals are taken without a published charge during normal hours, and registering for a third Saturday collection event at Tinker Creek is free. Any amount beyond that structure is confirmed with the Sanitation Division on 540-375-3071 or the authority on 540-857-5050.Official guidance
