Anyone know how I can recycle 1lb Propane bottles? Throwing them out seems to be a REAL waste.
-
I noticed that Costco Kamloops takes them.
-
You can refill them..... just be careful.

Not that this answers your question but I used to go through 3-4 dozen a year, maybe more.
This year finally splurged and bought the adapter for the large tank and haven't had to refill one time. No waste and $ savings as well.

Me too.
Bought a 4 or 5lb small bottle and the adapter hose.
Last me the whole year instead of 10 bottles.
Works really well for everything - especially well if you use a lantern and a pipe pole - gets the lantern up fairly high.

A scout group I know uses them for their stoves, and goes through quite a few. Unfortunately they need the portability and independence of the small bottles because they have 6-8 stoves going at one time.
I have an adapter that I use for MY 3 burner coleman... WAY easier than those stupid bottles.

Drop them off at a scrap metal place. All of our scrap metal from old nails to machinery parts goes to a scrap dealer for recycling.
-
That might just be the best/only solution. Seems that it's not easy to find a company that will accept them for recycling "normally"

At recycling depot. At least the one in Maple Ridge do have a section (left hand side) where you can drop off propane tanks and bottles for recycling.
