Salisbury is the Rowan County seat — a city of 35,580 with a nationally recognized historic district, Catawba College, Livingstone College, and a mix of Victorian-era homes and growing suburbs along Jake Alexander Boulevard.

Salisbury Public Works runs monthly bulk routes, but scheduling depends on your zone. The Rowan County Landfill on Old Concord Road handles self-haul loads for $15-$25. Historic district homes on Fulton Heights and West End often have narrow driveways that make self-hauling difficult even with a truck.

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 Salisbury residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal
Salisbury homeowners in the historic district face strict preservation standards — an old fridge sitting in a Fulton Heights driveway for 3 weeks draws code enforcement attention. Dropcurb picks up same-day for $79, keeping historic streetscapes clean.
