Does Tucson pick up exercise equipment?

What happens to your exercise equipment after pickup
Exercise equipment is primarily recycled for scrap metal — treadmills, ellipticals, and weight machines contain significant amounts of steel, aluminum, and copper. Motors from treadmills and ellipticals are separated for copper recovery. Plastic housings and rubber components are processed separately. Equipment in working condition may be donated to community centers, schools, or resold through secondhand fitness equipment dealers. Non-functional equipment is broken down at scrap facilities.

Same-day $79 pickup beats Tucson's 60-90 day quarterly wait and costs half of 1-800-GOT-JUNK's $150+ rates. No driving to the landfill yourself or waiting months for the next city collection.
