From Old Town to the Foothills, residents deal with the same month-plus delays regardless of neighborhood or disposal urgency. Cerro Colorado Landfill at 4600 Coors Blvd SW requires truck transport and charges by load, making costs unpredictable for mixed items. 1-800-GOT-JUNK schedules home estimates before revealing $150-600+ pricing, while local haulers range $100-350 with inconsistent service across the large metro area.

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.
