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.

Why Chico residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal

Instead of waiting on appointment windows, phone scheduling, and variable quote pricing, Dropcurb gives Chico residents flat, upfront per-item pricing starting at $79 with same-day curbside pickup. No in-home estimate, no truck rental, and no landfill run.
