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.

For material that the weekly carts and the free bulky pickup cannot take, the City's residential rate sheet publishes container options, including a three cubic yard clean-up bin and a roll-off pull with a six ton limit, both with disposal included. The City also suggests donating usable goods before scheduling a pickup, listing the Salvation Army at (800) SA-TRUCK and the Goodwill donation centers in Norwalk and Long Beach.

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.
What can go out for a bulky item pickup?+
Household appliances, mattresses, furniture and miscellaneous bulky items such as metal pipes, wood and carpet. Miscellaneous material has to be cut to four feet and bundled with string under 50 pounds, and construction material, tires, car and boat parts and hazardous waste are not eligible.Official guidance
How do I schedule a bulky pickup?+
Call Athens Services at (833) 791-2376 at least 24 hours before the regular trash service day, or send the online request. Tell the hauler what the items are, keep the pickup to five items, and have everything at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day.Official guidance
Will Cerritos take a mattress?+
Yes. A mattress is named in the bulky item definition, so it goes out as one of the five items on a free scheduled pickup. Call (833) 791-2376 at least 24 hours ahead and put it at the curb by 7 a.m. on the trash day.Official guidance
What about a treadmill or other large household item?+
The bulky definition covers large items that will not fit in the trash and recycling containers, and it names appliances, mattresses, furniture and miscellaneous items rather than exercise equipment. Specify the machine when you schedule so the hauler can confirm it, and remember it counts toward the five item limit.Official guidance

What goes in each cart?+

Can I donate usable items instead?+
Yes, and the City suggests it before you schedule a pickup. The Salvation Army takes donations at (800) SA-TRUCK, and Goodwill has donation centers in Norwalk at (562) 864-0662 and in Long Beach at (562) 719-9242.Official guidance
