Got a small walking treadmill, that now became a fire hazard, rhe motor is sparking, but replacing it seems not feasible as i cannot get a replacement part (the company stopped existing a while ago and doesn’t seem like a main manufacturer). And it seems a slightly more permanent installation than not.

So looking to scrap it, but how to scrap it in London without a car? Council bulk pickup seems not to mention anything about fitness equipment and neither does the “not so local” recycling centre, tried calling it but the number goes nowhere. Its a fair trip on a taxi if i wanted to bring it to the centre and not a straightforward walk either.

So the question is, how to scrap it? Contacted a random “local” company that mentioned picking up gym equipment but they quoted £200, which is more than the bloody thing cost!

Going to email the council, but anything else i can try?
