Where To Recycle Propane Tank?

If you are trying to get rid of propane tank, the right answer depends on condition, local rules, and whether the item is regulated.

Do not put propane tank in regular trash until you check local hazardous-waste or recycling rules.
Call and ask: Do you currently accept this exact item, in this condition, at this location?

Best first call

Your city or county waste department is the safest first stop for this item.

Do not drop it off if

  • It is broken in a way that makes it unsafe.
  • It is wet, moldy, recalled, or missing required parts.
  • The location says it does not accept that category.

Useful wording

Ask: "Do you currently accept propane tank, and do I need to schedule a pickup or use a special drop-off?"
