Does Brea pick up exercise equipment?

Monthly service with $20 fees plus 3-4 week waits adds up quickly for regular disposal needs. Olinda Alpha Landfill is local but charges $20-50 per load if you can transport everything yourself. 1-800-GOT-JUNK starts at $150+ with their own scheduling delays.
Dropcurb picks up exercise equipment same-day in Brea for $109 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
$20 plus 3-4 weeks — not the deal it seems.

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.

$79 same-day pickup beats Brea's $20 fee plus 3-4 week wait and costs half of 1-800-GOT-JUNK's pricing. No monthly scheduling or loading your vehicle for landfill runs.
