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.
A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.
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.

Make the equipment easy to identify.
Place the booked equipment in an accessible outdoor spot. Keep any separated parts together, add a photo and clear location notes to your order, and leave the approach clear.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Exercise equipment is not named on the city pages, so the route has to be confirmed with LRS or the city.
City cost & eligibility
No city page names an exercise machine. A piece too large for the cart would fall under the bulk item count of five stickers with a 50 pound maximum, so confirm with the city or Lakeshore Recycling Systems whether the machine qualifies, and how the weight limit is handled for a heavier frame.
When & how
Call Lakeshore Recycling Systems at 773-685-8811 or the city before the machine goes out, then use the garbage day set-out window with the stickers the confirmation calls for.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can to bring it inside the size and weight limits, remove any battery pack so it does not go into the wrong stream, and keep it clear of the recycling cart and the yard waste pile.
Carts go out between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., and the truck scans them
Pickup days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday and the same day covers garbage, recycling and yard waste, with material at the curb between 7 p.m. the night before collection and 6 a.m. on the collection day and containers back in by 7 p.m. that day. Residents must use the LRS carts provided for the home, each cart carries a tag the truck scans, the account is billed each time a cart is set out, and the carts stay with the house when a resident moves.
Each bag, container, stack and bulk item needs the listed number of stickers
LRS stickers cover yard waste, leaves, organics, garbage that will not fit in the cart, electronics and bulk items. One sticker covers an excess garbage bag or a biodegradable yard waste bag or container that stays inside the size and weight limits, one covers a stack of brush or tree trimmings, a bulk item such as carpeting, a mattress or a toilet needs five stickers, a white good such as a refrigerator or water heater needs ten, and a curbside television or monitor needs ten. Yard waste, leaves, food scraps and organics are collected from the first full week of April through the second full week of December, and live Christmas trees are picked up free with no sticker during the two weeks after Christmas.
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.
A Wheaton household with garbage, recycling, yard waste or a bulky item for the weekly LRS collection.

Arrange it
Use the LRS carts provided for the home, put material at the curb between 7 p.m. the night before and 6 a.m. on the pickup day, call LRS at 773-685-8811 for cart, service or billing questions, and attach the required stickers to anything that does not fit in the cart.
Only the LRS carts are allowed and they stay with the house when you move, household hazardous waste must not go in the garbage, and paint, pesticides, solvents, used oil and automotive fluids are referred to the DuPage County program.

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.
Will Wheaton take a treadmill as a bulk item?+
Exercise equipment is not named on the city pages, so call Lakeshore Recycling Systems at 773-685-8811 or the city first. A bulk item such as a mattress, carpeting or a toilet needs five LRS stickers and must weigh no more than 50 pounds, so confirm how a heavier machine is handled before it goes to the curb.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Wheaton?+
Lakeshore Recycling Systems does, under a city contract with a pay-as-you-throw program: residents use the LRS carts issued to the home, each cart is scanned when the truck empties it, and the account is billed only when a cart is set out. Pickup is on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday depending on the address, and LRS answers service and billing questions at 773-685-8811 or Service@LRSrecycles.com.Official guidance
