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 Covington residents choose Dropcurb for exercise equipment removal
Once per year means planning furniture disposal around a single annual opportunity. Dropcurb's same-day service eliminates the coordination delays and covers appliances the Waste Management service restricts.
