Disposing Of Your Old Grill

Taking proper care and maintenance of your gas grill will keep it running for a long time, but even the most reliable grills will eventually break down. If you need to dispose of your old grill, we strongly recommend choosing green disposal methods such as recycling, donating, and upcycling. Clean your old gas grill thoroughly before taking it to a recycling center for disposal.

Preparing Your Grill for Recycling

There are a few practical general guidelines for disposing of old BBQ grills and preparing your old gas grill for recycling or disposal, but it is strongly recommended to hire a professional to dispose of your old gas grill for you to be sure you recycle gas grills properly. Gas must be completely drained from the tank before you can dispose of grills or recycle propane tanks. Having a professional perform this step is the safest way to ensure that your propane tank is properly discharged. By searching the Yellow Pages or doing a Google search, you can find highly rated propane dealers in your area.

You must safely remove your propane tank from your old grill before you take it to be emptied. To do this, cap the lines, turn off the tank valve and loosen the bolts that attach the propane tank to the grill. If you don't have a propane dealer who offers these services in your area, you can check with your local fire department, gas company, or hazardous waste specialist.

Dispose of The Tank

Technically, propane tanks are hazardous waste. Be sure to check local laws before disposing of an old propane tank. Some states and municipalities have strict regulations regarding the disposal of propane tanks. There may be laws about where to store used or unused tanks, such as whether you can keep them in your garage, under your porch, or in your shed. Propane tanks can typically be reused through propane tank exchange programs. Propane tanks can be disposed of at propane gas dealers. Scrap metal recyclers cannot safely dispose of propane tanks due to residual gas.

Contact a Professional Removal Service

It is certainly time-consuming to figure out how to dispose of an old grill. Although leaving it by the dumpster or on the curb might be tempting, most garbage services won't pick up bulky items, and you can expect a citation with a heavy fine if you don't dispose of it properly.

Contact your local scrap salvage or recycling facility if you plan on getting rid of your old grill yourself. If you don't want to disassemble your grill before dropping it off, book a pickup with Pro Junk Dispatch.
