Disposal of small propane canister question.
Is it okay to toss the small green Coleman barbecue type propane canisters into the trash dumpster when they are empty? Or is there a proper disposal management for them?

Seriously - You refill them and then you don't have people disposing of a few hundred thousand steel containers in a landfill every year.
That's a regulatory issue that can easily be solved, just as it has been here in Canada. Time to catch up.
And then, I should take the old cylinders, put them in my car, drive to the recycling place, which then heats the steel up a few thousand degrees and melts it into sheets of steel, which are loaded on a truck then transported to another plant, which heats the steel again and stamps it into a cylinder, then fills the cylinder with gas, puts the cylinder in a truck and ships it to a store, you go to the store in your car again and buy a new one.
I think I'll just recycle the ones I got just myself like I been doing.
