Many times, the non-profit or charity must pay to dispose of donated equipment. Propane Cylinder Recycling Options Propane Recycling Options for Individuals: Remember that a full or nearly full propane cylinder is a fire hazard. If you are going to save your cylinder for Cayuga County's next collection event, we recommend that you use as much of the propane as possible before storing the cylinder. For free or a small fee, many retail stores (Walmart, Lowe's, Agway, etc.) that provide propane cylinder refills will trade your obsolete cylinder for a filled cylinder with an OPD. (What's an OPD?) Many gas stations (Kwik Fill, Fleming Pit Stop, etc.) that offer propane refilling may also take your cylinder for trade in. Propane Cylinder Recycling for Businesses, Municipalities and Schools We have worked with US Cylinder Disposal on more than six household hazardous waste and earth week collection events. US Cylinder prepares the propane (and other gases) cylinders to be recycled as scrap metal.
