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 Fremont residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal
$79 vs Republic's $55 but no 1-2 week wait — same day instead. Newby Island costs less but you rent the truck, do all the loading, and spend your weekend at the recovery park.
