About These Items
These small liquid propane tanks are often used for camping stoves or portable grills. They can not be recycled through the city’s curbside recycling program or taken to any city drop-off center. Even if you empty and puncture the canisters, they will not be accepted.
You can only recycle these canisters locally at PRC Household chemical collection events and at the PRC run City of Pittsburgh Household Chemical Recycling events. It’s $20 flat fee for up to 50lbs to drop off. Don’t puncture the canisters before drop-off, even if they are empty, because the recycler will first capture any remaining propane before recycling.
Do you know somewhere else in Pittsburgh that will take these small propane canisters? Let us know!
