I am in the process of clearing out our "pig sty" (it was one many years

empty.

Can you empty it in a controlled fashion?

If so, try the scrappies again, showing them the valve open.

It has its valve so I guess so. Any hazards?

I still doubt that they'll take it. I couldn't get rid of a thick aluminium
cylinder with the valve removed as the smelters don't like anything that
can trap any air. Seems daft but that's what I was told. Only way is to
cut it in half first.

As others have said, local welders might find a use for it.
