Does San Antonio pick up exercise equipment?
San Antonio's SAWS Brush & Bulky Waste Collection is free for residents but operates monthly with 2-4 week waits. Even with 1.4 million residents, the city's monthly schedule creates significant delays.

King William and Southtown residents can self-haul to SAWS Transfer Stations ($8-20 per load), use 1-800-GOT-JUNK ($150-600+), or try local haulers ($100-350). Multiple transfer stations help, but truck rental and time off work remain necessary.

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 San Antonio residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal
Same-day $79 pickup beats 2-4 week waits for SAWS monthly collection. Skip the transfer station runs, avoid 1-800-GOT-JUNK's $150+ charges and required home presence.
