Why water heaters are awkward to get rid of
A standard 40 or 50 gallon tank is tall, round and slippery, with nothing to hold on to. Even after it's drained, sediment at the bottom adds weight, and a rusted tank can leak dirty water as it tips. Most trash services won't take one, and it barely fits standing up in a pickup bed.
The water heater needs to be disconnected and drained before we arrive. Your plumber can usually leave it ready when they install the new one. Then we carry it out from the garage, closet or attic, load it on the trailer and you pay after the job. If you're not sure it's ready, text us a photo first.
Water heaters are mostly steel, so they are worth recycling instead of burying in a landfill. We recycle old tanks whenever possible and dispose of anything that can't be recycled properly. That way the old unit is out of your garage and out of the regular trash at the same time, and you never have to figure out where a rusted tank is allowed to go.
Good to know
- The water heater must be disconnected and drained before pickup. We don't disconnect gas or water lines.
- Ask your plumber to leave the old unit disconnected and drained when the new one goes in.
- If it's in an attic, send a photo of the access so we can plan the carry.
- Most water heater pickups happen the same day or the next, any day of the week.
