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 Garden Grove residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal

Garden Grove's 3 free pickups per year are generous — but once you've used them, you're paying private rates for the rest of the year. Dropcurb starts at $79 with same-day pickup, unlimited times per year. No scheduling through Republic Services, no 10-item limits, no Freon fees on appliances.
