Hot Water
Tank Removal

Free curbside pickup for electric and gas water heaters in Toronto and Vaughan — once the tank is disconnected and outside at the curb, in the driveway or in the garage. Basement removal and disconnection are quoted before we book.

Free when it's metal, already outside at ground level (curb, driveway or garage) in Toronto or Vaughan, and we pick it up on a day we're already in your area. Everything else is quoted before we book. See what's free →

03
We Show Up & Load
Our crew arrives, loads the tank, and hauls it away. You don't lift anything or move anything.

Gas Heaters:
What You Need to Know

We pick up gas water heaters once the supply line has been disconnected and capped by a licensed gas fitter. We do not disconnect live gas lines.

Need gas disconnection? Call Enbridge at 1-877-362-7434 or hire a licensed HVAC contractor. Once capped, we're ready to come.

Electric tanks are simpler — shut off the breaker. If you need us to disconnect it and carry it out, that's quoted up front, from $75.

The Scrap Metal
Business Model

A typical water heater contains 60–100+ lbs of steel plus copper fittings and brass valves. At current scrap metal prices, that material has real value at the recycler — which covers our cost of pickup.

You get free curbside pickup. We get scrap metal revenue. The metal gets recycled instead of landfilled. Carrying it out from inside, up or down stairs, or disconnecting it takes labour, so that part is quoted up front.

FAQ

Is hot water tank removal really free?
Yes, when the tank is already disconnected and outside at ground level — at the curb, in the driveway or in the garage — in Toronto or Vaughan, and we pick it up on a day we're already in your area. The scrap metal in the tank covers our cost. Basement removal, stairs, disconnecting or a booked time are quoted before we book, confirmed in writing, and nothing is added on the day.
Do I need to drain the tank first?
Ideally yes — a drained tank is much lighter and easier to move safely. Drain it by connecting a garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom. If you can't drain it, let us know and we'll discuss.
Do you remove gas water heaters?
Yes, after the gas line is disconnected and capped by a licensed gas fitter. For electric tanks, no special prep is needed beyond shutting off the breaker.
My water heater is in the basement — can you still take it?
Yes. Basement removal is a paid service, starting from $75 depending on stairs and access. We quote it before we book — contact us for a quick assessment.
How quickly can you pick it up?
Free curbside pickups happen on a day we're already in your area — we'll tell you the day when we confirm. If you need a set day, a time window or same-day service, that's paid and quoted up front — contact us by late morning and we can often get there the same day.
Do you serve areas outside Toronto?
Yes. Free curbside pickup covers Toronto and Vaughan. Elsewhere in the GTA — Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Ajax and Pickering — it depends on the load and where we're routing that day. Send a photo and we'll tell you before we book whether it's free or what it costs.
Is there a minimum or maximum tank size?
We take all residential sizes (30, 40, 50, 60, 80 gallon) and commercial units up to 100+ gallons. Contact us for very large commercial tanks to discuss logistics.
