How much does treadmill removal cost in Chesapeake?

Treadmill removal starts at $109 ($79 pickup fee + $30 heavy item upgrade). Additional heavy items are +$59 each.

Can you pick up a treadmill from my garage?

We pick up from the curb, driveway, or garage apron only. If the treadmill is at the edge of the garage with the door open, our haulers can reach it. We do not enter homes.

Do I need to disassemble the equipment?

No disassembly required. Fold treadmills if they have a folding feature, and remove any loose attachments. Place at the curb as-is.

What exercise equipment do you take?

Treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, weight benches, rowing machines, and free weights. If it fits at the curb, we can take it.

How do I get a treadmill to the curb by myself?

Most treadmills fold — engage the folding mechanism, tilt it onto the transport wheels, and roll it out. If yours doesn't fold or is too heavy, recruit a friend or neighbor to help. Moving blankets or furniture sliders help on hard floors. Once it's on the driveway, our hauler takes it from there.

Do you pick up a Peloton bike?

Yes. Peloton bikes and similar smart exercise bikes are standard tier ($79). Peloton Tread and Tread+ are heavy tier ($109). Disconnect from power, remove any accessories, and place at the curb or garage apron.

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.
