How we checked this. The rules on this page were verified in October 2026 against: City of Miami Solid Waste: Garbage, Recycling, and Bulky Trash Schedules, City of Miami: About Mini Dump and Bulky Trash. Programs change; confirm fees and limits before you go.
Hazardous and regulated components in Miami. Miami-Dade operates two Home Chemical Collection Centers, accepting household hazardous waste from county residents free of charge: paint, motor oil, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and old electronics with batteries. Locations and hours are at miamidade.gov.
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.
Three mistakes that get grills left at the curb:
Paid options are mostly for built-in grills and heavy ceramic kamado cookers.
Self-haul to a scrap yard or transfer station
Free to $20A 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.
LoadUp paid grill pickup
$80+For households who can’t use the free options or need same-week service, LoadUp offers professional removal in Miami-Dade with upfront pricing. Independent loaders in the marketplace handle pickup, loading, and licensed disposal, rates typically 20-30% below national competitors.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and licensed disposal of your grill. No prep needed beyond pointing out what goes.
Pricing: Starts around $80 for a single item; full-truck pickups range from $300 to $600 depending on volume.
If you can pay for a pickup, your booking helps fund free pickups for someone else. Every paid LoadUp customer can opt in to round up at checkout, and 100% of round-ups go directly to Freemoval’s subsidized jobs.

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 If you find outdated information, let us know.
