Propane tank age out, refurbish or replace?

My 30# tanks have aged out and my dealer won't refill them. Should I just have them re-certified or replaced? Any estimates on the cost of having them up graded (12 years old). If I elect to buy new ones, will I have trouble recycling the old tanks? Thanks

    on 5 gallon (20lb) it's cheaper to get new ones, or swap out at a place where you swap out a tank.

    on other sizes, I've found it cheaper to pay to get it recertified. 30 lb, 5 lb I recertify.
