How Jacksonville handles grills

Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, 757 square miles, and that scale shapes how trash collection works here. Bulk pickup is weekly with no appointment needed for most items, but appliances and tires require scheduling. This page walks through every option in order from free to paid, with the specific rules that apply across Duval County.

The Jacksonville rule for grills: The grill is bulk. The propane tank is hazardous waste, which is illegal in the residential stream; take it to the HHW Facility or an exchange.

Program basics: 5 cubic yards per week, about 30 full 32-gallon bags. Tires are limited to 4 standard vehicle tires per scheduled pickup. Curbside between 5 p.m. the day before and 6 a.m. on collection day, at least 3 feet from carts and away from mailboxes and cars.

What the city will not take: Household hazardous waste of any kind (illegal in the residential stream under city code), appliances and tires without a scheduled pickup, and anything from a business.

How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Jacksonville Solid Waste: Service Standards, City of Jacksonville Solid Waste Collection Quick Reference Guide, City of Jacksonville: Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.

Hazardous and regulated components in Jacksonville. Jacksonville operates a year-round Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 2675 Commonwealth Avenue (Tuesday-Saturday 8 AM to 5 PM, 904-387-8847). The HHW Facility accepts oil-based paints and stains, motor oil (limit 27 gallons per 30 days), pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, antifreeze, full aerosol cans, propane tanks, and electronics. Maximum 3 CRT monitors per visit. Several retailers also offer ongoing free recycling: Home Depot for batteries and CFL bulbs, AutoZone for motor oil and car batteries, Best Buy for electronics, and most pharmacies for unused medications.

Why grills are different from ordinary bulk. The propane tank is the entire problem. Even an 'empty' 20-pound tank holds residual gas under pressure and can rupture in a compactor. Trash and bulk crews are trained to refuse grills with tanks attached, and a tank left on the grill is the main reason grills get skipped.

Prep checklist before pickup day in Jacksonville

  • Close the tank valve, disconnect the regulator, and remove the propane tank and any 1-pound cylinders.
  • Take the tank to an exchange cage, propane dealer, or HHW facility.
  • Scrape the grates and firebox and empty the grease cup into the trash in a sealed bag.
  • Remove the lid or fold the side shelves if it needs to fit a vehicle.
  • Post as free scrap or set out on the scheduled bulk day with the tank visibly gone.

Three mistakes that get grills left at the curb:

  • Don't put a propane tank in the trash, recycling, or at the curb. Take it to an exchange, dealer, or HHW facility.
  • Don't set out a grill with the tank attached. It is the number one reason grills are skipped.
  • Don't leave grease in the drip tray. It draws animals and makes the grill a code complaint.

Paid options are mostly for built-in grills and heavy ceramic kamado cookers.

Self-haul to a scrap yard or transfer station

Free to $20

A cart grill fits in an SUV with the lid off and legs folded. Scrap yards take it free; transfer stations charge a small bulky fee. Take the tank to a separate drop-off.

Ceramic kamado grills have no scrap value and go to a transfer station; the steel bands and cart are scrap.

Common questions about grill removal in Jacksonville

Does Jacksonville pick up grills for free?

The grill goes out as bulk. The tank goes to the HHW Facility or an exchange.

Can I put a gas grill out with bulk trash?

Yes in most cities, once the propane tank is removed. Some cities also ask for the grill to be clean of grease. Check your city’s rule in the directory below.

What do I do with the propane tank?

Take it to a tank exchange cage (trade for a full one), a propane dealer or hardware store that accepts old tanks, or a household hazardous waste facility. Never put it in the trash or at the curb, even if it feels empty.

Will a scrap yard take a grill?

Yes, free, and stainless grills often pay. The tank must be off; most yards refuse tanks unless the valve has been removed, and many refuse them entirely.

Can I donate a used grill?

Working gas grills that are cleaned are accepted by some ReStores and move instantly on free listings in spring and summer. Thrift stores generally do not accept grills. Include the regulator and hose, not the tank.

Is this Jacksonville page maintained?

Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Jacksonville guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
