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.

Burien residential customers may put out up to one cubic yard of extra garbage and request a free collection of up to three bulky items once each calendar year, and anything beyond that is collected on call for a published per item rate.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb with no single item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may request a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs, scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322. An on call collection beyond the annual allowance is charged per item at the published residential rate.
When & how
Call Recology at 206.767.3322 or submit the bulky item request form, describe the items, and wait until the collection is scheduled before setting anything out at the curb.
Get it ready
Keep every item at the curb rather than beside the carts, keep each piece within the size limit for the annual allowance, remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer, and count each collection against the once a year allowance.
Exercise equipment is not named in the published bulky item examples, so the route and the charge are confirmed before the machine is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No published Burien or King County page read here names exercise equipment, so call Recology at 206.767.3322 and ask whether the machine counts as one of the free annual bulky items or is charged as an on call collection, and call the King County solid waste information line at 206-477-4466 if the plan is to haul it to the Bow Lake station.
When & how
Call before the machine moves, then schedule the bulky collection or plan the transfer station trip on the answer you get.
Get it ready
Take the machine apart where it comes apart, keep any console or battery separate so it follows the electronics or battery route, keep the machine off the curb and out of the shared carts until the collection is confirmed, and keep loose weights out of the recycling cart.
Burien residential customers may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb once each calendar year with no single item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may also ask for a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs. Everything has to be scheduled with Recology at 206.767.3322 before it goes out, and the pieces in one set count together against the once a year allowance.
Bulky items go at the curb rather than beside the shared carts, refrigerator and freezer doors have to be removed, and the collection has to be scheduled before anything is set out. An on call collection beyond the free annual allowance is charged per item at the published residential rate, and the pieces in one collection count together against the annual allowance.
Recology operates on all holidays except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, and a collection day that falls on or after one of those holidays runs one day later that week. A missed collection has to be reported within twenty four hours, and a return trip for a residential customer who asks for a second visit carries a published charge.
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 Burien solid waste contract with Recology King County, plus the King County Solid Waste Division
Use the free annual bulky collection
A Burien residential customer with appliances, a couch, a mattress or a small pile of extra garbage to clear once this year.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free once each calendar year for a Burien residential customer: up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb with no item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, plus a collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs, scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322.
Arrange it
Call Recology at 206.767.3322 or submit the bulky item request form, describe the items, and set them at the curb only after the collection is scheduled.
The allowance is used once a year and everything in the set counts against it, refrigerator and freezer doors have to be removed, and items outside the bulky examples are confirmed with the hauler before they are set out.
City of Burien solid waste contract with Recology King County, plus the King County Solid Waste Division
Schedule an extra on call bulky collection
A Burien residential customer with more bulky items than the free annual allowance covers, or a second collection in the same year.
Cost & conditions
From $26.6 per non refrigerant appliance on an on call bulky waste collection at the published 2026 residential rate, with sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs at a higher published rate and a refrigerator or freezer higher again. A Burien residential customer whose account is in service, scheduled through Recology at 206.767.3322 or the bulky item request form, with the pieces placed at the curb on the collection day.
Arrange it
Request the collection from Recology, list every item, and put the load at the curb with refrigerator and freezer doors removed.
The rate is charged per item by type rather than per load, an appliance that holds refrigerant costs more than other appliances, and the charge is confirmed by the hauler when the request is placed.
Apartments and condominiums ask the bill payer to arrange it
A tenant in a Burien apartment or condominium building where carts are shared and the account is held by the property or another payer.
Cost & conditions
Service for an apartment or condominium address has to be requested by the bill payer on record, and Recology asks that items not be set next to the shared carts or containers, so the account holder arranges the collection and the arrangement and any charge are confirmed with Recology at 206.767.3322.
Arrange it
Ask the property manager or the account holder to request the collection from Recology, then follow the placement instructions the hauler gives for that property.
A tenant cannot schedule the pickup on someone else's account, items left beside shared carts may not be collected, and the free annual allowance belongs to the account rather than to an individual unit.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Burien.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Burien?+
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.
How many bulky items can Burien residents put out for free?+
Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb, with no item, bag or box larger than three feet by three feet, and may also request a free collection of up to three bulky items such as appliances, couches or large chairs. Everything has to be scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322, the items sit at the curb rather than beside the carts, and a collection beyond the annual allowance is charged per item at the published rate.Official guidance
Will Burien take a treadmill?+
Exercise equipment is not named among the examples the city hauler publishes, which are sofas, chairs, mattresses, box springs, refrigerators, freezers and washing machines, so the route has to be confirmed first. Call Recology at 206.767.3322 and ask whether the machine counts as one of the free bulky items allowed once each calendar year or is charged as an on call collection, and call the county information line at 206-477-4466 before hauling it to the Bow Lake station yourself.Official guidance
Who handles garbage and recycling in Burien?+
The City of Burien holds a ten year garbage, recyclables and compostables contract with Recology, and Recology collects from Burien addresses under the CleanScapes name. Residential garbage service includes recycling every other week and food and yard waste every week on the same collection day, and the large item service is arranged with Recology at 206.767.3322. Household hazardous waste and self haul loads go through the King County Solid Waste Division instead, with the county information line at 206-477-4466.Official guidance
What does a Burien bulky pickup cost?+
Once each calendar year a Burien residential customer may place up to one cubic yard of garbage at the curb and request a free collection of up to three bulky items, all scheduled in advance with Recology at 206.767.3322. Beyond that allowance each on call collection is charged per item at the published residential rate, where sofas, chairs, mattresses and box springs share one rate, a non refrigerant appliance costs less, and a refrigerator or freezer costs more. A household that hauls the piece itself pays the King County garbage minimum or the per item handling fees instead.Official guidance
What cannot go in a Burien garbage cart?+
Electronics cannot go in the garbage and instead ride the free curbside small electronics collection or a Recology Store or E-Cycle Washington drop off. Household hazardous waste is banned from the garbage, the recycling cart and the organics cart and goes to a King County collection site, and construction and demolition material is not a curbside or bulky item at all, so project loads go to the Bow Lake station or into a debris box. Bulky items such as appliances, furniture and mattresses also never go in the carts.Official guidance
