June 2025

Got an old grill sitting in your backyard collecting rust? Backyard grill removal is a great way to reclaim that space and usher in a new model. But let’s face it, depending on the grill, this isn’t an easy task to take on. Odds are, your trash service or location won’t allow you to stage it curbside and have it taken away. That’s where junk removal services like Tyler’s Hauling come in.

Besides being large and taking up space, grill removal actually has a lot of factors to consider. One of the fastest, most hands-off methods is simply to hire a local appliance removal service to do the work completely for you. To help you make the best decision on grill disposal, our guide will cover how to dispose of an old grill in detail.

We’ll cover:

How to dispose of an old grill?

Grill disposal is highly based on your unit, its size and assembly, and its mechanical components. If possible, you’ll want to review the user manual to understand the different parts of your grill and any safety hazards they could present. For example, grills that use propane require more safety measures and have specific disposal rules. Here’s a quick breakdown of how you can prep your old grill for removal.

How to dispose of a charcoal grill?

Charcoal grills are very simple to dispose of and can probably be removed yourself or by appliance removal specialists. The steps are straightforward:

Clean out as much of the ashes and charcoal as possible; make sure no hot coals remain.
If possible, deconstruct the grill into more portable pieces.
Separate and group the metal and plastic components.
Toss out plastic pieces.
From here, you can easily recycle the grill for scrap metal or have it collected for dumping.
- Note: Grill disposal services will recycle all components for you, saving you from having to do any extra preparations and trips.

How to dispose of a propane grill?

Propane grills are a little more complicated to dispose of due to their propane tanks and more complex construction. Because propane is considered a hazardous material, the grill tanks cannot be dumped or collected by standard waste disposal. Multiple state and county regulations require specific procedures when removing these materials. This includes recycling the propane tanks at specific facilities. With that said, here are the initial steps of propane grill removal:

Begin by removing the propane tank and setting it aside in a safe location.
Note how full the tank is for later disposal.
Disconnect all tank hoses and gas lines from the unit.
Plastic and non-metal materials can be thrown away.
Disassemble the propane grill as much as possible for easy transport.
If you know your propane grill is composed of different metals, try to sort them.
Make sure any remaining grease is cleaned off.

When should I use grill disposal services?

You should consider using professional junk haulers to remove your old grill if it’s propane-based, if you have multiple old grills to remove, or if you’re looking for an easy process. Can you remove and recycle your grill yourself? Absolutely. Considering the time and effort it’ll take to disassemble, prep, and transport the grill components for removal, though, you’ll see it’s just not worth it. You’ll pay a small fee for the service, but this takes the grill removal completely off your schedule. Additionally, there are several hidden benefits to using grill disposal services.
