Be careful while handling propane tanks as their contents are toxic and explosive.
REDUCE
Most Home Depots, Lowes, Publixs, and Walmarts will exchange an empty tank for a full one for around $20. Visit their websites listed below and call to check the nearest location.
RECYCLE
If the tank is empty and the valve can be removed (do not attempt to remove the valve if the tank is NOT empty), it may be recycled at one of the metal recyclers listed below.
If the tank has gas in it, the valve cannot be removed, and you wish to dispose of it rather than refill it, visit one of the AmeriGas offices listed below.
