Got a dusty gym set sitting in the corner of your house, doubling as a clothes hanger? Maybe it’s time to say goodbye to that treadmill or those dumbbells you’ve been meaning to use “one day.”
Disposing of gym equipment in Singapore might seem like a hassle, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Follow these tips to declutter your space kiasi style while keeping things eco-friendly.
1. Check If It’s Still Usable (Or Sellable!)
First things first—don’t throw it away if it’s still in good condition! Plenty of people are always looking for affordable second-hand equipment. Try these platforms:
- Carousell: Singapore’s go-to marketplace for preloved items.
- Facebook Groups: Check out groups like Buy and Sell in Singapore to connect with others who may need your old equipment.
Got high-end gym sets? Reach out to second-hand sports shops or specialty resellers. Someone else might give your old equipment a new home, and you earn some spare cash too—win-win!
2. Donate It (Spread the Fitness Vibes!)
If you’re not keen to sell, consider donating. Many schools, gyms, or charities might be happy to take in used gym equipment. Some local organizations or community centers could find it useful.

3. Recycling Options
Big, bulky gym sets like weights, stationary bikes, or rowing machines can often be recycled, but you’ll need to check with local recycling companies. For instance:
- E-waste Programs: If your equipment has electronics (like a treadmill console), find an e-waste collection point.
- Metal Scraps: Equipment made from steel or aluminum parts can be sent to scrap metal dealers.
Pro tip: Disassemble your equipment before heading to recycling—it saves space and effort for everyone!
