A guide to the proper disposal and recycling of used oil.

Propane and other compressed gas tanks of any size must NOT be put in your blue bin for recycling. Also, due to worker safety reasons they should NOT be discarded as trash and kept separate from scrap metal. Please see below for recycling options. Tanks should also be empty (or close to empty).

Small, 1 lb “camp stove size” propane tanks

Do NOT place in your blue bin. Bring to the District Transfer Station during all regular hours of operation for recycling . Recycling of 1-lb tanks is free for residents and $1 each for businesses.

Standard, 20 lb ”grill size” propane tanks

• Option 1: Take your old 20-lb tank to a store that offers an exchange program (such as Blue Rhino). They will accept your old tank and give you a full tank in exchange (with the new-style valve).  You will be charged for the service, but you will leave with a new tank.
• Option 2: Take your old tank to the District Transfer Station during all regular hours of operation and we will recycle it.  Recycling of 20-lb tanks is $4 each for residents and businesses. 

Large propane tanks and cylinders (over 20 lb.)
