A public resource guide
A gas grill is scrap steel once the propane tank is off. The tank is the only hard part, and it never goes in the trash. Charcoal and pellet grills are simpler still.
Last updated: October 2026 · Maintained by Freemoval as a public resource
A gas grill is 60 to 150 pounds of steel, cast iron grates, and aluminum or stainless burners, all of it scrap. The only disposal obstacle is the propane tank, which is a pressure vessel that landfills, bulk crews, and scrap yards all refuse. Take the tank to an exchange cage, a propane dealer, or a household hazardous waste facility, and the grill itself becomes an easy free item: scrappers want the metal, most bulk programs accept it, and intact grills get claimed off free listings within hours. Charcoal grills have no tank and go straight to bulk or scrap. Pellet grills add a controller and auger motor, which scrap yards accept.

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.
Grease is the second issue. Drip trays, grease cups, and the firebox accumulate rancid grease that attracts animals at the curb and makes donation programs refuse the grill. Fifteen minutes with a scraper and degreaser fixes both.
Size matters for built-in and large island grills. A grill head drops out of a masonry island from the top in most installations, but the island itself is construction debris. Portable and cart grills roll to the curb.
With the tank handled, nearly every grill leaves free.
Propane tank exchange, dealer, or HHW drop-off
Free to $5Tank exchange cages at hardware and grocery stores take a tank in trade for a full one, which costs money but solves the problem. Propane dealers and many hardware stores accept old tanks free, and every household hazardous waste facility accepts them. Some scrap yards accept tanks with the valve removed; most do not.
Never put a tank in the trash, recycling, or at the curb. It is the most common cause of refuse truck fires after lithium batteries.
Expired tanks (older than 12 years from the stamped date) cannot be refilled but are accepted everywhere above.
Scrap pickup for the grill body
Free, often paid to youStainless grills carry meaningful scrap value; painted steel grills less, but scrappers collect any grill free from a curb because the cast iron grates and steel body add up to 60 to 150 pounds. Post it as free scrap once the tank is off.
Stainless steel is non-magnetic and pays several times the steel rate.
Cast iron grates are heavy and wanted; leave them in.
Free listings and donation for working grills
FreeA working grill, cleaned, is claimed within hours on Marketplace or Buy Nothing groups, especially from April through July. Some ReStores accept clean working gas grills; most thrift stores do not. Charcoal kettles in good shape move instantly.
Clean the grates and firebox and photograph the burners lit if it works.
Include the regulator and hose but not the tank.
City bulk pickup (tank removed)
Free in most citiesMost bulk programs accept gas and charcoal grills as a large item once the propane tank is removed. A few cities require the grill to be clean of grease or the lid taped shut. Pellet grills are accepted the same way.
Leave the tank off and visible as off; crews check.
Side burner tanks and 1-pound cylinders count as propane and must also be removed.
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 pickup
$80+For households not eligible for free programs, or who need a grill gone this week, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in cities across all 50 states. Upfront pricing, same-week scheduling, in-home pickup from any floor, and licensed disposal or recycling handled for you.
What’s included: Loading, hauling, and disposal. 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.
Get a grill pickup price from LoadUp → Round-up option appears at checkout. Optional, opt-in only.
Grills are accepted by most bulk programs once the propane tank is removed; the tank itself goes to an exchange, dealer, or HHW facility everywhere. Tap a city for its grill rule and HHW location. Each city link opens a dedicated free grill removal guide for that city, built from the same researched city data.

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.
How do I know if a propane tank is empty?
You cannot be sure without a scale, and even an empty tank holds pressure. Treat every tank as containing gas and take it to an exchange, dealer, or HHW facility.
What about a pellet grill or a kamado?
Pellet grills are steel with a controller and auger motor; scrap yards and bulk programs accept them. Remove and empty the hopper. Ceramic kamado cookers have no scrap value and go to a transfer station; the steel bands and cart are scrap.
What does LoadUp charge to remove a grill?
A single grill prices at the single-item minimum, around $80 to $100 in most metros. Independent loaders on the LoadUp marketplace cannot transport propane tanks, so remove the tank before pickup.
