The council
Large gym equipment is on Bury's refused list for bulky collections (checked against Bury Council and Recycle for Greater Manchester pages on 2 November 2026). Even smaller pieces would need to be left whole at the front of the property, and the council will not collect from a back garden, yard, shed, garage or from inside a property, including flats.
Your options
- Sell or give it away: second-hand exercise bikes and benches are popular
- Recycle for Greater Manchester accepts non-electrical exercise equipment in good condition in its donate containers
- Electrical machines such as treadmills can go to the electricals area at Every Street in Bury or Cemetery Road in Radcliffe
- If you are buying a replacement, ask the shop to take the old one back

Treadmills are heavy and awkward. Fold it if it folds, unplug it, remove the safety key and loose parts, and get at least two people to carry it. Many will not fit in a car without being taken apart.
Rough costs
| Load | Rough private price |
|---|---|
| A few bags or one or two items | £60 to £100 |
| About half a van | £150 to £250 |

A single treadmill or multi-gym is usually priced as a single item, with stairs and access making the biggest difference.
