How to Properly Dispose of Propane Tanks

Propane tanks should never be disposed of in the regular trash or recycling bins. They are hazardous and can cause safety risks if not handled properly. Here are some methods to responsibly dispose of propane tanks:
- Exchange or Refill: If the propane tank is still in good condition, you can exchange it for a full one or have it refilled at a propane supplier or gas station. This ensures that the tank is reused and reduces waste.
- Return to Retailer: Many retailers that sell propane tanks have programs in place to accept and recycle empty tanks. Check with your local retailer to see if they offer this service.
- Hazardous Waste Facility: Take the propane tank to a hazardous waste facility or recycling center that accepts propane tanks. These facilities have the proper equipment to safely handle and dispose of the tanks.
