Propane tanks and gas cylinders should never be placed in household trash, dumpsters or recycling bins. Propane tanks, even when they appear empty, can still hold residual gas and rupture or explode, creating a hazard for waste facilities and workers.
If your propane tank is in usable condition, the best option is to refill or exchange it at a participating retailer.
Note: County environmental centers will accept propane tanks up to 100lbs.
