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.

The city puts household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings in one curbside bulk category, and the refuse rules page states that this material may be placed between the sidewalk and curb on collection day. No appointment and no separate charge are published for that route because the refuse service is billed on the annual tax bill.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included in the annual residential refuse fee that the property pays on its tax bill, with no separate charge published for bulk refuse placed out on the regular collection day. The city charges separately only for the on demand extra collection service, which is arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office.
When & how
Put the bulk material out with the container on the regular refuse collection day, at the curb by 6:30 a.m. and no earlier than the night before.
Get it ready
Remove the doors from refrigerators and other appliances with latches, tie loose wood, trees, bushes and hedges in bundles no longer than four feet, no thicker than 18 inches and no heavier than 60 pounds, and remove nails from discarded lumber or bend them over so no point is exposed. The city does not collect radioactive, volatile, highly flammable, explosive, biomedical, infectious, toxic or hazardous material, and it does not collect waste generated by a contractor.
Exercise equipment is not named in the city's bulk sentence or on any retained county list. The curbside bulk category is introduced as household furniture, bedding and mattresses and large appliances, so a treadmill or a weight machine is confirmed with 311 before it goes to the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment entry or rate is published by the city or the county, so confirm with 311 or (585) 428-5990 whether the machine is accepted as bulk refuse on the regular collection day. If the load is beyond the weekly route, the on demand service is arranged through the Commercial Refuse Business Office.
When & how
Call 311 before the machine goes out, and put it at the curb only for the collection day the city confirms.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart so two people can handle it, keep loose weights with the frame, and keep any console or screen for the electronic waste route, because the state bans putting electronics in the trash or in curb recycling.
Household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings go between the sidewalk and curb on the regular collection day, with no appointment. Remove the door from a refrigerator or another appliance with a latch, tie long pieces in bundles within the published length, thickness and weight limits, and remove nails or bend them over. Contractor-generated waste and hazardous material are not part of this route.
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.

Book the on demand refuse collection
A household with extra refuse from a move-out, a gathering or a small home improvement project that cannot wait for the next collection day.
Cost & conditions
The city describes payment at the time the collection agreement is signed but publishes no amount, so confirm the charge with the Commercial Refuse Business Office at 428-6928, which also explains the other options available to property owners.
Arrange it
Contact the Commercial Refuse Business Office, describe what needs to be collected, meet the representative on site to sign a collection agreement, pay at that time, and the collection is scheduled for the next business day.
The service is a paid extra collection rather than part of the weekly route, payment is made at the agreement stage, and the same prohibited waste rules apply to what can be collected.
Rochester households can self haul to the Monroe County ecopark at 10 Avion Drive, open Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and closed on holidays. The site is for Monroe County residents only, an appointment is required only for household hazardous waste, and the recycling stations are self-serve apart from that stream. Electronics, appliances, scrap metal, rechargeable and button batteries, fluorescent and CFL bulbs, sharps and syringes, pharmaceuticals, paper for shredding and household hazardous waste by appointment are all taken there. Tires carry a fee that depends on whether they are on or off the rim with a limit of four tires per person, an appliance that still contains refrigerant carries its own fee, and mattresses, household garbage, building materials, alkaline and lead acid batteries, used motor oil, asbestos, PVC pipe, radioactive materials, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and Styrofoam food containers are refused.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Exercise equipment removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Rochester.
How much does exercise equipment removal cost in Rochester?+
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.
Do I need an appointment for a bulk pickup in Rochester?+
No. Household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings go out on the regular refuse collection day between the sidewalk and curb, in the same weekly service the annual refuse fee pays for. There is a separate on demand service for an extra collection such as a move-out or a small home improvement project, which is arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office.Official guidance
Will Rochester take a treadmill?+
Confirm it with 311 first. Exercise equipment is not named in the city's curbside bulk category, which lists household furniture, bedding and mattresses, large appliances and bundled tree and hedge trimmings, so call 311 or (585) 428-5990 and describe the machine. If it is accepted it goes out on the regular collection day like other bulk refuse, and any console or screen has to go to a state electronic waste collection site instead of the trash.Official guidance
What does Rochester charge for refuse and bulky items?+
Residential refuse is billed on the annual tax bill rather than per pickup, and the published annual table lists the fee for a one unit residential property with higher figures for two and three unit properties and a separate schedule for a property that is primarily residential but partly used for a non residential purpose. Bulk refuse on the regular collection day and home originated tires are part of that weekly service with no separate charge published. The extra on demand collection is a paid service arranged with the Commercial Refuse Business Office, and the county ecopark charges only for its fee-based categories, which are tires and appliances that still contain refrigerant.Official guidance
