General Education: Like many household products with hazardous characteristics, these products are considered household hazardous waste. The most efficient way to offer services to consumers to manage household hazardous waste is through local programs provided by municipalities. Step 1: Confirm your cylinder is empty Take the cylinder outdoors to an open area, away from flame and heat sources. Connect your cylinder to your appliance or torch; ignite to burn off entire contents within your cylinder. Keep the valve open for a minute or two after the flame sputters out to help reduce residual gas. Safely disconnect cylinder from appliance or torch. Step 2: Identify your local permanent HHW site or solid waste authority TIP: Increased likelihood of success searching for a permanent Household Hazardous Waste site (HHW) first before searching for a solid waste facility or transfer station. TIP: Use search term ‘propane cylinder’, mini propane tanks’ or ‘torch cylinder’ Use our online tool to help identify local resources in your county at: https://www.bernzomatic.com/About-Bernzomatic/CylinderSafe You can also identify Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facilities by zip code at https://search.earth911.com/ (EPA promoted site) Step 3: Contact your permanent HHW site or local solid waste authority for further instructions You may need to let them know the type of gas (i.e., propane, MAP-Pro, or Oxygen). It is also a good idea to ask about any scheduled HHW collection events in your area that will accept these items. These events are typically seasonal, with primary collection taking place spring – fall. Even if they do not accept gas cylinders, these resources should be able to provide additional guidance on cylinder disposal. Additional Information: Options available for tank and cylinder recycling can vary by municipality and region. A general web search like "Household Hazardous Waste disposal near me" or "propane cylinder recycling near me" may provide information on local disposal options along with potential pickup and drop-off sites in your area. Because these cylinders are made of steel, you may also have success taking your empty cylinder to a mixed metal scrap yard after preparing the cylinder for recycling (Step1).

Well the link https://www.bernzomatic.com/About-Bernzomatic/CylinderSafe gives a 404 error so seems like this needs to be updated given you literally direct everyone to it for disposal yet the link does not work nor does the url that is on the tank label.
