How To Recycle a Broken Treadmill
SHARE

If you have a home gym, chances are you have a treadmill as part of your workout equipment. However, when the time comes for your treadmill to stop working, it’s important to consider recycling its parts rather than letting them go to waste. Recycling your treadmill can be a great way to reduce waste and give new life to its components.

First and foremost, you’ll need to disassemble your treadmill. Grab a few sturdy boxes to collect and separate all the pieces and parts. A drill may come in handy to remove screws and take the machine apart. As you break down the treadmill, you’ll end up with five main categories of waste: metal, the running belt, the running board, electronics, and hard plastic pieces.

The metal components of your treadmill, such as support pieces and screws, can be recycled at a local scrap yard or transfer station. You can also reach out to individuals interested in scrap metal through social media or ads to have them pick up the metal from you. While you may not make a significant amount of money from scrap metal, it’s a sustainable way to dispose of these materials.

The running belt, although not easily recyclable due to its composite nature, can be upcycled. Cut it into pieces with a utility knife and repurpose it as a mat for your garage, workshop, or even as a rug for high-traffic areas in your home.

The running board, typically made of plywood, can be transformed into wall art, furniture, or even a play area for kids. If you’re not feeling crafty, consider offering it to an artist or recycling it at a transfer station.

The electronics of your treadmill, including wiring and circuit boards, can be recycled as e-waste. Ensure to dispose of them properly at a designated e-waste recycling facility in your area.

Lastly, the hard plastic parts of your treadmill may require more effort to recycle or upcycle. Look for local plastic recyclers that accept rigid plastics or consider offering them for free on swap sites. Get creative and explore ways to repurpose these plastic components in your home.

By taking the time to recycle or upcycle the parts of your old treadmill, you can contribute to a more sustainable environment and give new life to materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Consider these options when it’s time to say goodbye to your trusty running machine and embrace a more eco-friendly approach to disposal.
