How to Dispose of Small Propane Tanks
- 1). Give the small propane tank away to a friend, if the tank has no damage. One of the quickest ways to get rid of something is to give it to someone who can use it for free. This is only viable if the tank is still usable and has no damage.
- 2). Take the small propane tank to a rental center. You can either exchange it for a new tank or inform the center that you just wish to dispose of the tank. Most propane tank rental places will take old tanks for disposal.
- 3). Call propane dealers in your area to ask if they take old propane tanks for disposal, if the rental dealer will not take the tank. Propane dealers can take the old tanks or direct you to a local business that disposes of them.
- 4). Find a recycling center that takes small propane tanks. Most municipalities have one or more recyclers that have special areas for disposing of used propane tanks.
