[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rusted tank to get rid of too.  Someone told me that I can just take it the county dump and they have a special place for you to put them there.  But this is in Montgomery county and my tank is empty or nearly empty.

How to recycle/dispose of helium and propane tanks

We accept helium and propane tanks at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station at no charge.

At the Transfer Station, proceed to the Recycling Area. Hand your tank directly to an attendant on the upper lot near the electronics recycling drop-off.

Tanks/cylinders must be 20 pounds or less in size.

We accept
•empty tanks
•tanks with remaining helium or propane.

Whenever possible, return propane, helium, SCUBA and other tanks to the vendor or supplier from which you obtained them for reuse. If you can't return the tank, try to use up the contents so the tank is no longer under pressure.

What is not accepted?

We do not accept these types of cylinders or tanks
•home or commercial oxygen
•commercial acetylene 
•tanks larger than 20 pounds

To avoid explosion risks, propane tanks (and other pressurized metal containers) are not accepted in Montgomery County's curbside blue bin collections, or in its curbside scrap metal recycling collections.
