Got some really old 14 ounce handheld propane torch cylinders in the
garage that are starting to rust out on the bottom and I need to get rid
of them. Two are unused and full, one is partially used.

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?

Yeah, silly me- posting a home repair question in the home repair
newsgroup- then being surprised at not one single response in three days ;-)

Maybe I should have asked instead if it would make me a Trump-supporting
gay-bashing racist hater if I let the gas out of the cylinder.

After all, I once saw two black guys walking down my street holding
hands. What did I do? I scooped up my grand kids from the front yard and
brought them inside for a half-hour of bible study, a firearms safety
demonstration and a lecture on the importance of taking personal
responsibility and the wonders of capitalism...

I did not reply because I had no good answer. YOU could call bernzomatic and
ask them or call Rich Trethewey or your local recycling center or a plumber.
