Description
You know the one.
Sitting out the back…
rusting away…
half full of old ash and grease…
lid doesn’t quite shut properly anymore.
It used to get used all the time.
Now it just sits there.
Taking up space.
Looking worse every time you walk past it.
They Don’t Get Thrown Out Straight Away
That’s the thing with BBQs.
They don’t get dealt with straight away.
They get replaced.
New BBQ turns up.
Old one?
👉 gets pushed to the side
Maybe it ends up:
- down the side of the house
- at the back of the deck
- shoved in the corner of the yard
- sitting in the garage
And that’s where it stays.
Then It Starts Falling Apart
Give it a bit of time and they don’t just sit there…
they get worse.
You start seeing:
- rust coming through the bottom
- burners not working properly
- grease trays full of old crap
- wheels falling apart
- handles loose or broken
And once they get to that point…
you’re not fixing it.
They’re Worse Than They Look
From a distance it’s “just a BBQ”
Up close?
It’s:
- greasy
- rusty
- awkward
- smells like old fat and burnt food
Not something you really want to be lifting into your car.
Trying to Get Rid of It Yourself
At some point you think:
👉 “I’ll just get rid of it”
So you look at your options.
Give It Away?
You could try.
“Free BBQ — still works”
But most of them:
- are rusty
- worn out
- greasy
- missing bits
So it just sits there again.
Take It to the Dump?
Sounds easy.
Until you try.
Now you’re dealing with:
- lifting a greasy BBQ
- ash falling everywhere
- trying to fit it in your car
And once it’s in…
you’ve got grease and soot all through your car.
BBQs Are Just Awkward Full Stop
They’re not just one clean item.
They’re:
- bulky
- uneven
- greasy
- falling apart
You grab one side…
something else moves.
You tilt it…
ash drops out.
You touch it…
now your hands are covered in grease.
Half the Time They Fall Apart Anyway
To be honest…
most of the old BBQs we pick up around Christchurch are already on their last legs.
You start pushing them toward the truck…
and the bloody wheels fall off.
That’s just the life of an old BBQ.
Rust gets into everything.
Bolts go.
Wheels seize or snap.
So instead of rolling it out…
you’re dragging half a BBQ across the driveway.
And They Get Worse the Longer They Sit
Leave it there long enough and it turns into:
- rust flakes
- mould
- grease build-up
- spiders moving in
Sometimes they fill with water and turn into a swamp inside.
At that point…
you’re definitely not putting that in your car.
Most “Free” Options Don’t Work
By the time you’ve:
- tried to give it away
- looked at the dump
- thought about loading it
- dealt with grease and mess
You’ve already wasted more time than it’s worth.
And the BBQ is still sitting there.
The Simple Option
At some point most people just go:
👉 “stuff this”
And get it picked up.
No lifting greasy metal.
No wrecking your car.
No dealing with rust and broken wheels.
If that’s where you’re at:
How It Works

FAQs

Yes, but it’s messy, awkward, and often falls apart when you try move it.
Will someone take my old BBQ for free?
Sometimes, but most are too worn out and just get ignored.
