Propane Recycling Facts

9

Millions discarded, many not empty

Too many 1lb propane tanks are discarded with unused fuel still inside.

9

Yes, hazardous waste

Liquid propane vaporizes into propane gas at 270x its liquid volume. That little tank holds a lot of propane gas, under pressure.

9

Recycling or landfill?

Proper recycling of propane tanks requires a system for recovering unused propane. Unfortunately, many tanks are simply diverted to landfills.

The materials aren't worth the effort

The unused fuel and scrap value of a discarded propane tank don’t cover the cost of proper recycling.
