What to do with pressurized tanks
Propane barbecue grill tanks
Empty barbeque grill tanks can be exchanged for full tanks at retail tank exchange locations.
To recycle an unusable tank without getting a refill, you can drop it off at a tank exchange location and write "recycle" on it with a permanent marker.
Some scrap metal dealers will accept BBQ tanks for recycling but require special preparation to ensure they’re empty, always call first.
