How the heck do I get rid of these? I've got two of them that are empty enough that they don't produce a hot-enough flame to sweat pipes with, but still have some propane left in them. Throwing them in the trash seems like a very bad idea, unsafe for sure and probably illegal.

Desert + Old Propane bottles + .22 = FUN!
I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Um, refill and reuse them?
This touchy-feely Kumbaya shit has got to go.

Around here most of the stations that fill have an expired tank graveyard somewhere near the filling site. Another thought is to drill a hole put in a airhose chuck and use it for portable compressed air. Make sure you get all the gas out first.
It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy

Yenta, L7, I'm pretty sure he's asking about the small 1L torch bottles, not the 5 gal. BBQ tanks.

It's the latest thing in Socal. Spend $20,000 on a granite countertop island complete with side burner, sink, wine fridge, dishwasher, faux palm frond canopy, 60" plasma screen, bar seating for 12, and top it off with a pos grill that runs off a propane tank. Call it a BBQ. Originally Posted by Big E

The small 1 pound tanks can be tossed in the trash.
Empty and remove the valve core witha schrader core removal tool if you want to recycle the steel.
Heres a reference for ya...

Take them to the Hardware store.
A gas grill can be 'cued well with if you use wood chips. Ask me how I know.

Not as much fun as you think. It merely pierces holes in them and they fly around till the pressure is all gone, no fire, no explosion. Trust me, I know. Originally Posted by DJSapp
