If possible bust a hole in it and just throw it away.Make sure it is empty though.

It depends upon where you live and what resources you have available in your neighborhood. If I wanted to dispose of an old oxygen tank, I would call our local trash collection company (Sunset Scavenger). They have a website with special item removal information that I would check as well. Our neighborhood hardware store can also direct us on "special item" disposal. Or, you could contact who ever retails the tanks and ask them about it too. Good luck -- I know... getting rid of some stuff is a nightmare!

I gave michael m a thumbs up because he had some really good, practical ideas. Those things aren't usually worthless. My neighbor was throwing out an argon tank. I grabbed it. Within months, he begged it back to swap for a CO2 tank for a beer tap. We aren't all blessed with crazy neighbors, though. Sometimes you have to fish for crazy people. If you put it out by the side of the road with a $20 price tag on it, some crazy will steal it. Or somebody may even buy it.

Put an ad in the paper. They make a wonderful tank for a home made air compressor.
Or find a store that sells welding supplies exclusively. They may take the tank free of charge. Or better yet, Give it to someone for their birthday!!! It will only cost you the price of a bow!! Or you could put in a rummage sale, put a $10 price tag on it, and let someone talk you down to $5.

Often a Wrought Iron shop, Metal Sculptor, or other Welded Art type shop will pay top dollar for used Oxygen tanks that are headed for the scrap heap. They make excellent ornamental bells, quite popular with some for yard and garden ornaments.

It's possible you do not own the tanks. Some companies rent the filled container to the customer and retain ownership of the container. Check there is no supplier name on them. If there is ring them and find out how they supply.

I suggest you first take it outside, open the valve, and empty the tank out first. If it's a steel tank, take it to a local scrapmetal yard and they'll weigh it and pay you for it.

Welding supply will take it no problem. Or take it to the recycler for cash. Take the valve off of it so they know its empty.
