I've gotten rid of my gas grill and I still have the tank left. I don't want to exchange it, I just want to get rid of it.

Take it to your recycling centre

Hazardous waste disposal centers will take old propane tanks. Look for one in your yellow pages. Also, some gas companies will also accept them, and dispose of them for you. Do not just throw it into a dumpster. These things are under pressure with residual gas inside and can be dangerous if thrown into an industrial incinerator from a disposal company.

Either take it to a scrap metal bin or use a very big hammer or put it against a concrete wall and nudge it with the car bumper till it is flat and finish it off with the tires. then in the garbage like a tin can. Or, spray it copper color (with a rattle can) and leave it out front after the paint has dried. If it is on your property, no bylaw against that. Your property does not include the sidewalk. Leave a few rolled doobies in it. a doob a Q 15 minutes tops and it is gone.

call your county and ask. they have a disposal area for everything so ask them where to take it. Here it might cost you some money to dispose of it at their facility, but if you take along a receipt from a utility bill showing that you are a resident with land they will probably let you dispose of it for free.

Take it to your local recycling facility. They should have disposal for propane tanks, used oil and thing of that nature.

I would guess that leaving it at the place you normally exchange it would work. Anyone you know that has one already would probably be happy to take it off of your hands. It's good to have a spare.

My family empties them and carefully removes the nozzles. Then they spray them out with soapy water and allow them to dry. You can take an empty and make your own creation by painting or mounting.Allow your creativity to flow- we make them into water towers for the yard.

Take it to a propane supplier - if it's in decent condition they'd probably be willing to take it and add to their inventory.

You can take it to places where they fill them up and give the shell to them.
