Who picks up old grills for free?

Free pickup depends on the grill’s condition, fuel type and the collector’s actual service. Twin Cities ReStore accepts gently used, working grills seasonally from April 1 through October 31, while SA Recycling buys metal grills but does not guarantee household pickup. Confirm that the organization offers free pickup, not only drop-off or scrap purchasing, before arranging collection. Propane cylinders need separate handling, and ashes should be cooled before pickup.

Check reuse and scrap options first

If the grill is clean, complete and working, ask Twin Cities ReStore whether it qualifies for seasonal pickup. If it is mainly metal, contact a local SA Recycling yard or another scrap collector and confirm whether it accepts the whole grill and provides pickup. Metal value and acceptance can vary, so do not assume a scrap yard will collect it from your home.

Prepare the grill safely

Identify whether the grill is charcoal or gas, and arrange separate handling for any propane cylinder. Cool the ashes and have a capable person disconnect fuel when needed. Do not puncture or drain a cylinder. Confirm the collector’s exact requirements before pickup.

If free pickup is unavailable

Dropcurb can fit an accepted charcoal grill or freestanding gas grill when it is outside and accessible before pickup. A separate propane tank is not included, and unusually large, built-in or uncommon setups may need a photo check. If you cannot move the grill outside, use a service that includes indoor carrying.
