What happens to your outdoor item after pickup
Outdoor items with metal frames (grills, patio furniture, trampolines) are recycled for scrap steel and aluminum. Plastic outdoor furniture and resin items are processed at plastics recycling facilities when accepted locally. Wood items like deck furniture and fencing may be recycled or repurposed. Grills must have propane tanks removed before pickup — propane tanks are classified as hazardous material and cannot be transported. Items in good condition (clean patio sets, functional grills) may be donated to local organizations or resold.
