DIY grill disposal. Four words which can really sour an entire day. Sure, you’re excited to get the latest and greatest. But, you’ve got to do something with the old gas grill. And, this won’t necessarily be a cinch. In fact, it’s downright difficult, given the components and the fact it’s connected to hazardous waste. Although, not all is lost. There are DIY grill disposal options you can try.
Refurbishment Guide
Before we get on to the DIY grill disposal options, let’s first consider salvaging it. After all, there’s not much on the appliance which can’t be replaced. Even if there’s some rust issues, those, too can also be repaired. Of course, you don’t want to spend too much. Usually, for just a little money, you can replace the rock gate, igniter, and burner assembly.
Disposing of an old or damaged barbecue gas grill is not as simple as merely throwing out the unit. Because of the specific and potentially dangerous nature of typical gas grill components, owners of these barbecue grills can’t simply put the grill out with the normal household trash. Even if you’re trying to be responsible and recycle gas grill parts, certain items, like propane tanks for example, are not suitable for recycling right away like other recyclable materials you may toss. --Do It Yourself
Any rust can be effectively dealt with a wire brush and the right grit sandpaper. With some elbow grease and a little tinkering here and there, you can restore an old gas grill in a day. Then, use it for years to come to cook those tasty meals.
DIY Grill Disposal in Punta Gorda
If you can’t restore it with a bit of TLC and elbow grease, you’ll have to dispose of it responsibly. That way, you can reward yourself by purchasing a new unit and testing it out. Here’s how to do DIY grill disposal the right way:
- Sell it. For a grill that’s in relatively good condition and still usable, you can sell it locally. Price it dirt cheap and use any cash to go toward the purchase of another grill.
- Give it away. Instead of trying to sell it, consider just giving it away to a friend or a family member. The point is to offload it and not to try to make money on a sale.
- Recycle various, usable parts. Another option is to recycle some of the parts, if feasible. Take the cooking grate, rock gate, igniter, and burner assembly to the appropriate recycling center and be done with it.
- Junk and replace it. Should that grill be too far gone, just have a junk hauler come and pick it up. Take the opportunity to get rid of a bunch of other unwanted junk at the same time.
