Aluminum is used to make airplanes and Cast iron is used to make weightlifting equipment Why do the densities of these metals make them useful for these purposes?
Alumninium is low-density and yet has good tensile strength. In weightlifting equipment, the primary issue is density. Different goals. the cast iron is what makes the weights heavy, so when lifting your building muscles the aluminum made with the plane needs the strong density so it can support everything that is inside of the plane.
How do you properly dispose of a weight lifting machine?
If it is good condition you could take it to your local used sporting equipment store. Donate it to charity. You could find a local artist who makes sculpture out of cast away items. Other than that you will need to contact your local disposal service for a special pickup of the item.

Is cast iron dense?
The density of ductile cast iron is approximate 7.3 g/cubic centimeter, or 7.3 kg/liter. The density of grey cast iron is approximate 7.2 - 7.4 g/cubic centimeter. The density of cast steel is approximate 7.8 g/cubic centimeter. The density of stainless steel is approximate 7.7 - 7.9 g/cubic centimeter. The density of cast aluminum is approximate 2.6 g/cubic centimeter. However, the density has a range of variation because of the material grades and shrinkage level. So, you can see that cast iron is denser than cast aluminum, but cast steel is more denser.
