Can you recycle trampolines?
Dismantle: frame to scrap metal, mat and netting to general waste.
No one collects whole trampolines. Dismantled, the steel frame and springs are good scrap metal (recycling centre or scrap dealer), while the polypropylene mat, netting and padding are general waste. Usable trampolines rehome fast on freecycle.
Tips
- Offer it free before dismantling — they're in demand
