The treadmill that became a coat rack, the Peloton nobody rides, the rack and bench eating the basement — Denver's a fitness town, and the gear piles up. We disassemble the machine, carry it up the basement stairs, and route the working stuff to donation. Flat price from a photo: Peloton $108, treadmill $155, home gym $240.

Clear a whole home gym at once and it prices as one flat number, not a stack of line items. For scale, national full-service franchises typically quote $150–$600+ once minimums and heavy/awkward-item surcharges land — our flat photo-quote already includes the disassembly and the basement carry that make this job hard.
| Option | Cost | Speed & effort | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denver Large Item Pickup | Free | Every ~9 weeks; you haul it up from the basement to the curb | Nobody who can't move a 250-lb machine |
| Sell it / give it away | $0 (maybe a little back) | Slow; buyers rarely help move it out of a basement | Newer, in-demand gear and lots of patience |
| DIY haul to a transfer site | ~$88 min + truck, tools & a strong helper | Disassembly, a two-person stair carry, and a dump run — all you | The very determined |
| National full-service franchise | $150–$600+ | They carry it — but on-site pricing and heavy-item add-ons | Those okay with a truck-side quote |
| JunkRabbit | $155 flat (treadmill) | Same-day, disassembled, carried up from the basement | A flat price and none of the lifting |
The catch with every "free" option is the same: the machine is in the basement and weighs a ton. Our whole job is getting it out — disassembled and carried up the stairs at a flat price.
Technically a treadmill could count as one of the five large items Denver's Large Item Pickup takes at the curb every ~nine weeks — but that's not the real problem. The real problem is that your equipment lives in a full Denver basement, and the city program is curbside only: you have to disassemble that 250-pound treadmill or power rack yourself and wrestle it up the stairs and out to the curb before the city will look at it. For most people that's a non-starter — it's a two-person carry with tools involved.
That gap is the whole reason this page exists. We don't need you to move anything: we bring the tools, break the machine down where it stands, carry the pieces up out of the basement, and haul it — no nine-week wait, no straining your back, no curb pile. Anything same-day, inside-the-home, disassembled, or carried up from the basement is exactly our lane.
Fitness gear is a great donation candidate, so working, resellable machines go to donation first — Goodwill of Colorado, ARC Thrift Stores, or a Habitat for Humanity ReStore — where someone else gets a treadmill instead of the landfill getting one. What's broken or worn out is broken down for scrap metal, since a rack, a treadmill frame, and a set of plates are mostly steel and iron. It's the donation/recycle-first approach that fits Denver's waste-diversion push — and it keeps the tip fair. Every load leaves tarped, because Front Range sites charge double for an unsecured one.
Here's the Denver-specific reality other metros don't have: our homes have basements, and that's where the gym goes. In Wash Park, Park Hill, Platt Park, and the Lakewood and Arvada ranches, the treadmill and the rack are down a flight of stairs, often through a doorway too narrow for the assembled machine. That's a disassemble-and-carry job, and it's the norm for us — no per-flight or heavy-item surcharge, because Denver's flat streets mean the carry is just the carry. In the newer Central Park townhomes it's often the garage or a spare room, loaded from the home to keep the HOA happy; in the Cap Hill walk-ups it's a Peloton down three no-elevator flights. We plan the path before we lift.
"Treadmill and a full power rack in our Wash Park basement — no way I was getting either up those stairs. They took the rack apart, carried everything up, flat price from a photo. Reclaimed the whole room."
"Peloton I never used plus an old elliptical. They said the bike still worked and routed it to donation instead of the dump. Same-day, one flat number, no surprises."
"Cleared the whole basement gym out of our Lakewood ranch — treadmill, bench, and a mountain of dumbbells — in one trip. Flat price, carried it all up, no tax add-on. Painless."
