If your grill is broken, the best approach is to remove the propane tank and disassemble the components for recycling. If you are short on time or unsure how to handle the materials safely, 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can manage the entire process for you.

Yes, we definitely can! We’ll pick up your BBQ from wherever it’s located and load it into the truck–all you have to do is point.

Nope! We’re a full-service junk removal company, which means you don’t have to worry about moving your items outside or to the curb before we arrive. We’ll pick up your items and handle all the lifting and loading–we’ll even sweep up when we’re done.

Once we collect your BBQ, we assess whether it can be donated or recycled. Recyclable parts are taken to local recycling facilities or transfer stations to help keep waste out of landfills and reduce environmental impact.

Before you get rid of your old grill or BBQ, you’ll need to remove the propane tank. While 1-800-GOT-JUNK? can safely remove your old grill and other components, we’re often not able to remove old propane tanks.

Many recycling depots, transfer stations, and landfills accept old propane tanks for disposal. It’s best to check with your local recycling center first, as rules vary by location. If recycling isn’t an option, you may need to drop it off at a transfer station or landfill.

Since we may not be able to remove propane tanks for you, we ask that you ensure the propane tank is fully disconnected before we remove it. Here are some tips on how to safely remove your propane tank:

1. Make sure your propane grill is turned off.
2. For a refillable tank, close the tank valve (turn it all the way to the right, or clockwise). Small disposable propane tanks don’t usually have valves, so you can simply unscrew the tank to remove it.
3. Once the valve is shut, twist off the threaded pressure regulator.
4. Remove the tank from the grill. (It may be secured with a bolt or screw—simply remove this to separate the tank.)
5. Place your tank in a safe spot—do not store it indoors, even if it’s empty! 

Grills are heavy and difficult to move safely. Save your time (and your back) by letting 1-800-GOT-JUNK? handle everything for you.

No, you shouldn’t throw a grill in the trash. Most garbage trucks won’t take them, and grills often contain hazardous materials–like propane tanks or electrical components–that require special handling.

Grills also contain valuable metal parts that can be recycled, keeping unnecessary waste out of the landfill.
