Do scrap metal collectors take trampolines?

Yes, but usually only conditionally: ACON says steel frames and metal springs may be accepted by local scrap or recycling facilities, subject to that facility’s rules and minimum-weight requirements. The fabric mat, foam and netting are separate materials, so send photos plus the trampoline’s type and size, and ask whether the collector takes metal only or all materials, whether disassembly is required, and whether any net charge applies. Do not assume the collector will take the whole assembled trampoline, provide free household pickup, or pay for it.

Prepare before contacting a collector

Check the trampoline model before taking it apart. Springfree says disassembly is model-specific, and tension-loaded parts require the proper procedure. Do not improvise by cutting or removing loaded components without following the manufacturer’s guidance.

For a complete disposal plan, compare free trampoline removal options and their limits.
