Exercise Equipment Removal in Philadelphia
A lot of Philadelphia home gyms live in the basement, which is fine until the treadmill dies and somebody has to get it back up the stairs. Treadmills are heavy, awkward and metal — the city won’t take them with the trash. We carry them up: a treadmill is $115, an elliptical $97, a weight bench $69.

Why Gym Equipment Is Hard to Get Rid Of
It’s Metal
Philadelphia’s trash-day bulk collection only covers non-metal items, so a treadmill or rack can’t go out with the regular trash.
It’s Heavy and Awkward
Motors, flywheels and steel frames don’t fold neatly. The crew takes apart what comes apart and brings the rest up on a dolly.
