Text us a photoExercise machines are heavy, wide, and often wedged in a spare room. Fred’s removes treadmills, ellipticals, spin bikes, and weight benches without turning the hallway into a construction site.
We have moved thousands of treadmills down San Diego stairs. Two-person crews, a real dump truck, and a quote before we strain a doorway. That is why we are the best option versus renting a truck you still have to load.
Machines are tilted and walked, not dragged. We are careful with your flooring, we do not bang handrails, and we pick up leftover weights you point to. Full-service means you never lift.
Fee rules
Pricing is posted before the truck rolls. No hidden travel charge, no “fuel surcharge” at the curb. Please have the job ready so the quote holds.
- The quote you accept from photos is the amount you pay. We do not add surprise fees on the day of the job.
- Curbside is the better rate when items sit at a drive-up spot: driveway, residential garage, or alley. We load. You do not need to be home.
- Full-service means you point and we carry it from inside, the second floor, or the backyard. That labor is in the full-service price.
- Dump fees, recycling, and the haul are included.
- Ensure there is a cleared pathway for items to be removed.
- Ensure that fitness equipment can be removed without disassembly.
- Unbolt anything lagged to the floor before we arrive, or tell us in the photos.

Dump vs. recycle
A dump run puts the whole pile in a landfill. We do not work that way. Usable furniture goes to donation partners when condition allows. Metal, appliances, and e-waste go to scrap and certified recycling. Mattresses and box springs enter California mattress recycling whenever the plant will take them. Only the leftover mixed trash goes through a licensed transfer station.
Steel frames, flywheels, and motors go to scrap metal. Plastic shrouds are separated when practical. Working equipment in good shape can be donated. A treadmill is mostly recoverable metal if it is handled, not landfilled whole.
5/5 from neighbors
“Treadmill from a loft. They did not mark the stairs. Perfect.”
“Elliptical and a rack of dumbbells, fair price, five stars.”
“I was going to list it for free. Fred’s was cheaper than my time.”
Exercise equipment FAQ
- How is a treadmill priced?

- Do you take free weights?
- Yes. Plates and dumbbells are dense — photos help us match weight to a truck tier.
- Is gym equipment recycled?
- Steel goes to scrap. Usable machines can go to donation.
- What if it is bolted down?
- Unbolt it before we arrive, or tell us in the photos so we can plan the job.
