Isn’t it time you got rid of your old treadmill? Whether you’ve overused it or you’re sick of looking at it, you may want to clear the space in your room. When that time comes, it’d be a good idea to get rid of the treadmill using an eco-friendly method.
- Giving It To Someone – First, you can try giving it to someone. Doing so is a good way to ensure that the treadmill doesn’t take up much-needed space in your local landfill.

- E-Waste Recycling – Consumers also have the option of recycling electronic waste. Treadmills contain many electronics. When you recycle the e-waste, the electronics will be reused to make another product.
- Hiring Bulk Waste Pickup – Don’t forget that you can hire a professional for bulk waste pickup. When you use this method, you’ll get rid of your treadmill and many other items.
- Professional Junk Removal – You can also benefit from professional junk removal services. We strongly recommend this option because it’s easier, safer, and sometimes cheaper. Call EZ Staten Island Junk Removal to have your treadmill hauled away before you know it.
Why Shouldn’t I Trash My Treadmill?
You should never throw your treadmill in the garbage. Consider the following before doing so.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it Possible To Donate A Treadmill?
Just about every non-profit or charity organization will accept exercise equipment as long as it is in good condition. It doesn’t have to be perfect but it will need to be operable.

What About Salvation Army And Treadmills?
Salvation Army is another large non-profit organization that accepts exercise equipment. Of course, it will need to be in working order. Despite this, it is always best to check with your local center first because they might be full and not accepting donations at the time.
What About Scrapping A Treadmill?
Believe it or not, treadmills contain a lot of valuable components like plastics, metals, rubbers, and even electronics. Some centers might ask you to disassemble the equipment prior so always make sure you check before.
How Do You Safely Load A Treadmill Into A Truck?
The first step to removing a treadmill is to make sure that it is completely unattached from the wall or floor. This includes removing all power cords and tie-downs if there are any. With the treadmill unhooked, it is best to get a second pair of hands or at the very least get a dolly. Move the treadmill to the lowered tailgate and lift with your knees.
