The web is no help.


I called our city about getting rid of propane tanks for gas grill.
Our city has a lot of
recycling programs, but don't take propane tanks. City said that
Walmart and Lowes take empties. Perhaps they
take your smaller ones as well. Or perhaps a welding shop knows what
to do.

Return them to a store that has one of those "Rhino" ( or other brand )
propane replacement cages outside. In my town, they have them at beer
stores, supermarkets, and quick stop stores, among others. Get new
approved OPD full tanks for your old tanks.

OP is talking about the disposable small cylinders, like for a soldering
torch, not the refillable big ones for a grill. Like everyone else says,
if they are empty, just trash them.
