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 Nashville residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal

Nashville limits curbside bulky items to 1 cubic yard — that's roughly one couch. Dropcurb has no volume limits and starts at $79 with same-day pickup. No driving to a Convenience Center, no $149 minimum from Two Men and a Junk Truck, no $99 from Junk Bee Gone. From The Gulch to East Nashville, book online in 60 seconds.
