This service is available by appointment only and will occur every other month from March through October. These collections are separate from the regular household chemical waste (HCW) service.

For Larger Cylinders/Tanks...

Ask your retailer if the cylinder can be returned for recycling or disposal when it is empty. Whenever possible, buy refillable, reusable propane tanks. There are a variety of refillable canister sizes on the market. 

Two local vendors are available to assist with the disposal of larger propane canisters at a cost per cylinder. Please call ahead for details:
