A trampoline is a great thing for children and allows them to get exercise and play at the same time. Unfortunately, like many other activities, they can be dangerous and accidents do happen.

It’s best to get rid of broken trampolines as soon as possible; adults may want to consider removing their trampoline if nobody in the family uses it anymore either because they are too old or there is no space.

Trash removal companies will not recycle your trampoline even if you cut it up into pieces (it still counts as “sharps”) so check with your local government on what exactly they do with old ones before getting rid of it yourself. Some companies offer free pick-up while some charge a fee for recycling.

Remember that you will have to pay a small fee for disposal of the broken trampoline but it’s well worth it if you are concerned about people getting hurt.

Last, but not least, do not attempt to sell your trampoline because many companies will not buy damaged equipment and recycle even smaller pieces as they can be hazardous

How do you dispose of a trampoline?

When it comes to the disposal of trampolines, it is important to be extremely cautious. Many people do not realize that they can suffocate very easily on trampoline parts. It is recommended that if you do decide to remove your trampoline or if your children’s trampoline breaks, you should thoroughly clean out all broken pieces and neglectable small pieces so that no one will be at risk for suffocation.

Some places will offer to pick-up services while others charge a certain fee per pound for recycling old broken trampolines. You may also want to check with your local government as some cities offer free pick-up services for old broken pieces of recreational equipment such as a trampoline. Unfortunately, many companies will not buy damaged trampolines because it is a safety hazard. Once you have completely taken apart the trampoline and all of its pieces, make sure to triple-check that there are absolutely no small parts left from old broken trampoline springs or metal pieces from the frame. You can actually suffocate very easily on small parts of a trampoline due to how much they resemble food.

One place you can take your broken equipment is to your local scrap yard as many stores will accept this type of waste for recycling purposes. However, if you live in an area with strict guidelines then don’t bother trying as most cities won’t allow workers at a scrap yard to accept a piece of recreational equipment. The best thing would be to check with your local government for guidelines on disposing of broken equipment.

If you want to get rid of the trampoline yourself, it’s important to know that many international shipping companies will not accept hazardous materials such as a trampoline so do not attempt to ship it overseas or offer it on Craigslist for free. The best thing is usually to check with your local landfill but they may also charge depending on what areas they service. If all else fails, simply drop your broken trampoline off at an actual landfill and be sure not to leave any parts behind!

Have you ever wondered how people dispose of old trampolines properly? Instead of throwing out an old broken or unused piece by putting them in the recycling bin, make sure to clean it thoroughly and triple-check that all small pieces remain out of the hands of young children. If you’re not sure what to do with old broken trampolines, contact your local government for information on recycling centers or drop-off services in your area.
