No waiting on callbacksYour Loaders arrive, load the tank from your property, and haul it away. Disposal follows locally available options for pressurized fuel cylinders.
No in-person chargesPricing for propane tank pickup is based on the number of cylinders and their size. A standard grill tank is priced as a single item, and larger residential cylinders may be priced differently depending on size and how many are being removed in the same visit.
The tank should be disconnected from any grill, regulator, or gas line before your Loaders arrive, and the valve should be closed. A well-ventilated outdoor spot like a driveway or patio works well if the tank is currently stored inside.
LoadUp accepts grill-sized cylinders and larger residential propane tanks across the most common configurations.
Your booking total is transparent from the start. Optional adjustments, like adding a second cylinder or selecting in-home pickup from a garage or backyard, are clearly shown during checkout so your final price is accurate before you confirm.
The more you remove, the more you save. Discounts apply in real time as items are added.
Stairs add time and labor, which is factored in upfront to keep pricing fair for everyone.
For items that need to be taken apart, add disassembly to your booking during checkout.
Choose whether eligible items should be donated when possible during checkout.
Your Loaders prioritize responsible handling of pressurized fuel cylinders, directing tanks toward locally available disposal or recycling options for hazardous materials wherever those options exist. Outcomes vary based on the tank's condition and what facilities are accessible in your area.

(678) 884-4738Propane tank pickup typically starts around $75, though your final price depends on the number of cylinders, their size, and whether you choose curbside or in-home pickup. You see the full price before you confirm the booking, so there are no surprise fees when your Loaders arrive. Adding a second tank or selecting in-home pickup from a garage or backyard will adjust the total, and those options are shown clearly during checkout.
Yes, the tank should be empty before your Loaders arrive. Residual pressure is normal in a tank that has been used and sitting, but your Loaders are not able to vent, empty, or refill tanks on site. If your tank still has usable propane in it, you may want to use it up, exchange it at a retailer, or contact your local hazardous waste program for guidance before scheduling pickup.
Yes, the tank needs to be disconnected from your grill, regulator, or any gas line before your Loaders arrive. Your Loaders handle the lifting and hauling, but they do not disconnect tanks from appliances, regulators, or permanent fuel connections. Closing the valve before pickup is also a good step. If the tank is already stored separately in your garage or on your patio, it is likely ready to go.
LoadUp accepts standard grill tanks and larger residential propane cylinders, including common sizes like 20 lb and 30 lb tanks. Large commercial or industrial propane tanks are outside the scope of this service. If you are unsure whether your tank qualifies, the item types listed on this page cover the most common residential configurations.
Propane tanks are pressurized fuel cylinders, and most municipal trash and bulk pickup programs exclude them due to the handling requirements involved. Even an empty tank retains residual pressure, which puts it in a different category than standard household junk. That is the gap this service fills: a scheduled pickup by your Loaders who haul the tank away so you are not stuck trying to find a drop-off site or driving it across town yourself.
After your Loaders haul the tank away, disposal is handled based on locally available options for pressurized fuel cylinders. This may include recycling or hazardous material drop-off where those facilities exist in your area. Outcomes vary depending on the tank's condition and what options are accessible locally, so a specific disposal outcome cannot be guaranteed.
