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.

Exercise equipment is not named in the village contract or in the operator's bulk list, so a machine has to be tested against the handling rule that applies to every bulk item: one person must be able to lift it, or it has to come apart into 50 pound pieces.
City cost & eligibility
No published rate covers an exercise machine and no retained page names the category. The practical test is the operator's bulk rule, which asks that each piece be light enough for one person to handle or be broken into 50 pound pieces, and the village prices an oversized item at 45 dollars when it needs two collectors or a special truck. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 before setting a machine out.
When & how
Ask the operator first, then use the regular collection day if the machine qualifies as a standard bulk item or the oversized route if it needs equipment to lift.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart, keep each piece at or under 50 pounds, keep the loose parts with it, and leave it on the property while the answer is pending.
The 2026 contract sets the carts, the rates and the rules
Tinley Park's contract with Homewood Disposal Services took effect January 20, 2026, and the village publishes what it bought: a brown 95 gallon garbage cart and a green 95 gallon recycling cart at every home, additional carts for rent at 3 dollars a month for recycling, and benefits that include electronic collection, Christmas tree collection, senior and veteran discounts and an opt-in for townhome and condominium associations. As of October 1, 2026 the monthly rate is 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over, and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans, with the discounts available only to households in the village program paying contractual rates. Village ordinance requires carts at the end of the driveway and not in the street, and payments go to Homewood Disposal rather than Village Hall.
One large item a week is included, and an oversized one is priced
The weekly bulk allowance is the backbone of the program. The operator states that the removal of one bulk item each week is included with the residential service and names a sofa, mattress or cabinet, with a mattress and box spring taken together as a set and a bed bug unit required to be wrapped. Appliances are also included at one a week, but collected later the same day by a separate truck with a lift gate, so they need a call ahead, and state law requires the doors removed from a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer or stove and a water heater drained. Furniture has to be light enough for one person or broken into 50 pound pieces, up to two 50 pound cans of construction debris go out weekly, and carpet is rolled into bundles one person can lift. Above that allowance the contract prices the exception: an oversized bulk item that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa, costs 45 dollars per item.
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.
Homewood Disposal Service, the Village of Tinley Park contracted hauler
Put one large item out with the weekly collection
Any Tinley Park household on the village contract with a sofa, mattress, cabinet, chair, bike or similar household item to clear.
Cost & conditions
The item is inside the one a week bulk allowance that comes with the monthly residential service, so it carries no separate price. The published monthly rates are 31.16 dollars for residents, 29.66 for residents 65 and over and nothing for certified 100 percent disabled veterans as of October 1, 2026. Confirm with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 whether the piece counts as a standard bulk item or as one of the village's 45 dollar oversized items.
Arrange it
Set the item at the end of the driveway, not in the street, on the regular collection day, and call ahead for a large sofa or anything too heavy for one person.
One item a week, and anything needing two collectors or a special truck moves into the priced oversized category. Electronics, paint, chemicals, batteries and tires are outside this route entirely.
Homewood Disposal Service, the Village of Tinley Park contracted hauler
Book the oversized bulk item collection
A household with an item that needs two or more collectors or a special truck, such as a piano, hot tub or spa.
Cost & conditions
$45 per oversized bulk item. The village states that the Homewood Disposal contract offers oversized bulk item collection for 45 dollars per item for items such as pianos, hot tubs and spas that require two or more collectors or a special truck because they will not fit in the garbage truck. Confirm the classification with Homewood Disposal on 708-798-1004 when the item is booked.
Arrange it
Call Homewood Disposal to book the oversized collection and follow its instructions for where the item should be placed.
This is for the item that does not fit the ordinary garbage truck. A piece that breaks down to 50 pound parts stays in the weekly allowance instead.

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.
Will Tinley Park take a treadmill?+
Call first. Exercise equipment is not named in the village contract summary or in the operator's bulk item guide, so it comes down to the handling rule that applies to every bulk item: one person must be able to lift each piece, or the machine has to be broken into 50 pound pieces. An item that needs two collectors or a special truck is the village's 45 dollar oversized bulk category.Official guidance
What counts as an oversized bulk item?+
An item that needs two or more collectors to lift or a special truck because it will not fit in the garbage truck, with the village naming pianos, hot tubs and spas as examples. Those are priced at 45 dollars per item under the contract. Standard bulk items such as chairs, bikes, tables and mattresses stay in the one large item a week that comes with the service.Official guidance
