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 Clearwater residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal
Three annual pickups work until you need number four at $35 plus month-long waits. $79 beats the additional fee and eliminates the 2-4 week scheduling delay for immediate disposal.
