Treadmills Should Not Be Thrown In The Garbage

Your treadmill should not be disposed of in the garbage for the following reasons.

• It May Still Have Value – Even though you don’t want it, your treadmill may still be worth something. At the minimum, the motor or deck may be worth a few bucks. Therefore, someone may be interested in taking the item for free or a small fee.
• Recycling – Many of the components on your treadmill can be recycled. Once the treadmill components are recycled, they can be used to make other products. Use this method to avoid harming the environment and filling up your local landfill.
• Hurts The Environment – A treadmill is considered bulk waste because it is so big and heavy. Bulk waste is going to harm the environment when sent to a landfill.

Make Sure Your Treadmill Is Ready For Disposal

You must ensure that your unwanted treadmill is ready for disposal. Otherwise, some junk removal companies won’t take it. Complete the following steps to ensure the item can be hauled away quickly.

• Cleaning The Treadmill – In general, it’s a good idea to clean the treadmill. Once it’s been cleaned, it’ll be much easier to give away or sell. Plus, it won’t be greasy so it’ll be easier to haul away.
• Unplugging – You will always need to unplug the treadmill. If you don’t, there’s a risk that the professional won’t. They may accidentally damage your outlet. It may be a good idea to break the treadmill down too.
• Disassembling The Treadmill – Whether you’re donating or recycling, it is a good idea to disassemble the treadmill. When you’re recycling, you will have to disassemble the treadmill since some components cannot be recycled.
• Leave The Treadmill Alone – Usually, you will be able to leave the treadmill alone. Most junk removal companies will come into your home and take the item away for you. However, it may be a good idea to contact the company first since some may require you to take the item outside.
