So do many NPS facilities. But, I have never seen them in NFS sites. State parks in Texas and Oklahoma do not have them. mcneely ---- Stuart Fedak VE3SMF <ve3smf@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > Many of the Provincial parks in Ontario have collection facilities for disposable canisters.

In Ontario, if I recall, provincial park campgrounds treat disposable canisters as hazardous waste i.e. they won't take them. I guess if they get crushed they could potentially pop? I try to avoid them because they're wasteful (and expensive) and use a Coleman propane tree connected to a 10 pound tank. But I still have a propane tank tucked under the back seat. Jeff
* Don’t throw them in the garbage * Propane cylinders are not considered ‘recyclable items’ in Ontario * Some Ontario Parks have collection sites for propane tanks. If not available, take your used propane tank to your local Orange Drop site. Visit http://www.makethedrop.ca/ to find a collection site near you. * Don’t discharge leftover propane into the atmosphere, even if the cylinder is equipped with a device to do this." Cheers!
