Got some really old 14 ounce handheld propane torch cylinders in the

While it would be fun to take them out in the woods and lock and load on
them from a safe distance, that's probably not the recommended disposal
method. I was thinking of just opening the burner valve on the partially
used one in the back yard and letting all the propane escape, then
screwing the burner in to each of the others and do the same.

Better ideas?


Here, I'd take them to my local haz-waste center, or just post them on
freecycle for someone else that would use them up quickly.

Certainly, do NOT just release the gas. At least, use the torch head to
burn off the gas cleanly. Just like the new gas cans, releasing the
petro products to the environment is not desirable.
