The Chicago-land area is famous for being one of the “fittest” areas of the country. Across the City and the suburbs, there are hundreds of exercise gyms, fitness centers, yoga and Pilates studios, and other businesses that promote exercise and overall well-being. Furthermore, almost every weekend some sort of race is organized for people who enjoy this type of exercise. During the COVID-19 pandemic, however, thousands of people in the North Chicago area probably found that their favorite 24/7 gym was suddenly closed due to the lockdown and stay-at-home orders. During that time, many people may have been tempted to purchase home exercise equipment in order to keep up with their exercise regime, or to stay on top of their weight loss goals.
Fast forward a couple of years, and many of those weight benches, treadmills, Cross Fit machines, and other types of exercise equipment are most likely awkwardly stored in the basement or gathering dust in an obscure corner of your home. If you have used exercise equipment that you no longer use or that has broken down, how exactly can you go about getting those items taken out of your home?
Most exercise equipment is large and bulky, and cannot simply be taken out to the curb with the rest of your trash. In this short article, we explain why Junk King of North Chicago offers the easiest, most practical, and most efficient way to get rid of those pieces of old exercise equipment that you no longer use.
The Advantages of Hiring Junk King of North Chicago for your Exercise Equipment Removal Needs
According to research on the size of the exercise equipment industry, “sales of consumer fitness equipment increased by 68.3 percent from 2010 to 2020 ($3.32 billion to $5.59 billion). Over the past year, 42.72 percent of female consumers and 37.7 percent of US consumers overall bought workout equipment in the past year.”
Despite these impressive industry statistics, many people rarely (if ever) use their exercise equipment. In fact, one survey found that at least 40 percent of people said they used their home exercise machines far less than they had planned. As anyone who has unused or broken down exercise equipment will know, these items are generally large, heavy, bulky, and take up a large amount of space in the room where they are located.
Unfortunately, getting rid of those items is not easy. Due to their bulky nature, you can´t simply take those old items out to the curb with your regular trash. Furthermore, treadmills, cardio machines, and many other types of exercise equipment have electronic components that are classified as e-waste. These types of trash items, due to their toxic nature, cannot be disposed of with the regular trash because they may contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals.
