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?


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.

In fact a few small cylinders like that are an irrelevant fart in the
bath.

You are right. Idiots do ignore any sense of responsibility for their
actions.

No responsibility for that action given that vastly more
of that particular gas gets released when its mined.

Your attitude is the problem.

Nope, yours is.

Certainly, the oil industry has that problem big time.

And so does the gas industry.
