> Disposal > of the empty propane bottles is a pain, though. When I first had empties (from my two burner coleman I use for car camping) to dispose of, I called the City. Talked to two clueless people, who suggested the County. Three clueless people at the county, but one suggested BFI, the local refuse collection company. Two clueless people there. I next called the police department. No clue. Called our equivalent of a hazardous materials office... clueless. I called the company who provided propane for supplying homes. Again, no clue. Talked to the manager of a hiking/camping store in this area... clueless. Well, I said screw it and tossed them in the trash can with everything else. Two years later, I accidentally found the right person thru casual conversation at one of my kids soccer games. His recommendation..... "no special requirements... just toss them." He did specify, "as long as they are empties." I still don't think that's right, but it's what I'm doing. Jackie... what are you having to do? Just curious.
