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.
Your place. One easy pickup plan.

Measure doors and turns, and check the manufacturer’s moving instructions. Folding and moving methods vary by model. Have any required disassembly handled before pickup; we start outside.

Exercise equipment is not named in the village's regular collection rules, so a treadmill or weight machine falls to the oversized pickup, which the village describes for oversized or overweight items and for a large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard. Groot quotes that pickup and bills it by the cubic yard.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine rate is published. The oversized pickup is arranged with Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price at 847-734-6400 before it goes out.
When & how
Book the pickup with Groot at 847-734-6400 and hold the machine until the pickup is set. A piece small enough to meet the bag limits can instead go beside the toter on the regular service day, which is Monday north of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and Wednesday south of it.
Get it ready
Strip the machine down as far as it will come apart, take the console off the frame, and tape the terminals of any removable battery pack or hand the pack over separately. Keep the machine out of both toters and keep it off the curb until the pickup is arranged.
Monday north of the tollway, Wednesday south of it
The village splits collection by the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway. Residences north of it are serviced on Mondays, and residences south of it, including those west of Bartlett Road, are serviced on Wednesdays. Because routes can vary weekly and holidays shift the schedule, the village publishes the service area map and delays collection by one day for the remainder of a holiday week.
Schedule the special pickups with Groot before the item goes out
Three special services have to be arranged in advance. Appliance or white goods pickup is scheduled with Groot and runs on Wednesdays at no additional charge. An oversized pickup for a large item or a load over one cubic yard is scheduled with Groot for an estimate and billed by the cubic yard. Electronics pickups are scheduled at least 24 hours ahead, and Groot takes two items a week at no cost. Nothing is left at the curb before the pickup is arranged.
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.
Schedule the appliance, electronics and oversized pickups with Groot
A residence with an appliance, two electronic items, a couch, an exercise machine or a load over one cubic yard.
Cost & conditions
Appliance pickup is published at no additional charge when scheduled in advance and runs on Wednesdays, and two electronic items a week are collected at no cost when the pickup is arranged at least 24 hours ahead. The oversized pickup for a large item or a load over one cubic yard is priced by Groot as an estimate and billed by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price at 847-734-6400.
Arrange it
Call Groot at 847-734-6400, and for electronics the line is 800.244.1977. Schedule appliance pickup in advance for the Wednesday run, schedule the electronics pickup at least 24 hours ahead, and arrange the oversized pickup before the load goes out.
Every special pickup has to be arranged before the item is set at the curb, and the oversized rate depends on the cubic yardage of the load rather than a flat item price. A tube television weighing more than 50 pounds carries a charge on the electronics pickup rather than the two free item allowance.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hoffman Estates.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Hoffman Estates?+
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.
Who collects garbage in Hoffman Estates?+
Groot Industries collects under a village franchise. The village states that its residential agreement with Groot for solid waste and recycling runs through April 30, 2031, and that the same franchise requires all roll-off dumpsters and all commercial hauling to go through Groot. Groot handles service questions and special pickups at 847-734-6400, while the village handles regular billing and service changes at 847-843-4824.Official guidance
How is a large item pickup billed?+
By the cubic yard. The village routes oversized or overweight items and any large amount of refuse or debris exceeding one cubic yard through Groot, which gives an estimate and bills by the cubic yard, and the village names spring cleanup and move-in or move-out rubbish as typical loads. Appliance pickup is different and is published at no additional charge when it is scheduled in advance for the Wednesday run.Official guidance
