How do you get rid of old exercise equipment in Treasure Valley?

You can schedule a pickup with The Junkluggers. Once the crew arrives, they can disassemble the equipment and carry it out in just one visit.

Getting rid of old exercise equipment sounds easy until you try to do it. Treadmills can easily weigh 200 to 300 pounds, and they’re not exactly flat. An elliptical won’t come apart easily without the right tools. Weight benches and Olympic plates are, by design, incredibly heavy, and the bar itself is unlikely to fit in most SUVs. Most Treasure Valley homeowners simply cannot safely move this kind of equipment alone, which is why it tends to sit in the garage for months after anyone last used it.

In Treasure Valley, the garage is the most common home-gym location. Bonus rooms and spare bedrooms are next, with the occasional upstairs setup adding a flight of stairs to the job. Treasure Valley homes generally do not have basements, so the haul path is typically a first-floor garage out to the driveway, or a single flight down from an upper-level room. But no matter what your home’s setup is like, The Junkluggers of Treasure Valley handles the full carry-out for you.

Treadmills are the most common exercise removal request around here. Folding-deck models can be partly collapsed before the crew moves them, while non-folding models stay full-length. The Junkluggers manages either type, along with ellipticals, stationary bikes, rowing machines, free weights, and multi-station home gyms.

If your old treadmill or weight set is still working, The Junkluggers will do our best to donate it!

While general charities often turn away bulky fitness equipment due to storage and weight limits, we have specialized partners who need it. After picking up your gear, we sort and route it to local community centers, school gyms, and recreation departments. Best of all, if we successfully donate your items, we will pass any applicable donation receipts directly back to you!

When fitness equipment is broken or simply too worn out for a second life, The Junkluggers will still prioritize the planet. Rather than sending unusable items straight to the landfill, The Junkluggers breaks them down and recycles the materials whenever possible.
