Does anyone know what to do with empty propane canisters? (the kind that you use for propane space heaters etc).
To: All
I clean them up a little and take them back to the pizza place to reuse. I’m proud to do my part for recycling.

I quit recycling 15 years ago when the recycling crew tried to stage an intervention for me. Stop looking at my bottle consumption...Those at our facility look at my bottles for ideas of what to buy.
BTW, you would think of all people, we conservatives would be doing the most recycling.
I hate to see anything wasted, conserve as much as possible.

The city gave us this huge blue recycling bin on wheels. It’s great for yard waste. Mine has never had a single item in it for recycling.
Curbside recycling is a colossal waste of money and resources.

Why absolutely you can? They are great to get the camp fire started in the back yard. That grease catches fire real good and burns for a good long time.

You can “recycle” ANYTHING. What happens to it after you throw it in a recycle bin is irrelevant.

That is certainly out of character for them...but living in a shame culture as they do, someone was gonna pay for that, probably because it reflected poorly on the Party.
This IS how they do business...

I do worse things than put my pizza box in recycle, I recycle paper plates. When cleaning up before loading the dishwasher, there is soapy water to clean counters. You simply rinse them, and unless they don’t come clean easily, you put them with cardboard and paper..... SHOCKING NEWS I know.

Take it to U-Haul or AmeriGas, they often have a refill station.
Or try Home Depot, Lowe's, Wally World, CVS/Walgreens, etc etc, many of them run tank exchanges. For $20 or $30, you give them the empty one, and they give you a mostly-full one.
If you mean the little green 1lb ones, you can throw them away (take them to hazardous waste disposal if they aren't empty), or you can buy an adaptor for ~$20 and refill them from your big cans. Note once refilled, Fed law says you aren't supposed to transport them on the highway, but that's not a very enforceable law, at all.

They can be recycled at a distance of 100-200 yards.

I drill a 3/8” hole in each side and put them in metal recycle.
I have a drill press so it only takes a few seconds. One hole works but the second hole makes it more visible.
To: Auntie Dem
Ever thought about looking at what you were putting into the machine?
Just an idea.

Do you know how much volume is in a large front-end leader’s bucket? Transmission gears, cases and axles are easily covered up in leaves, grass and branches. Plastic and glass bottles contaminate the compost and aren’t seen until they are seen in the end product. Even inspectors combing the incoming waste with metal detectors (a costly process) can’t catch it all.

Bury them in the neighborhood AH’s fire pit?
Pacific Steel will buy them as scrap, provided they’ve been holed; other scrap dealers in other areas probably do also.

They finally figured out it was cheaper to hire inspectors to go around prior to the pick up and check the green waste cans for contamination and fine the homeowner. Well there you go. They figured out how to sort the garbage by themselves, so I don't have to.

Just move your trash bin closest to the door and all is good if you just want to use one bin.
If recyclables don't get clean with a quick rinse I toss them in the trash. Food waste gets tossed in the trash on garbage day, but otherwise I use the little food bin to keep the smells down in the trash.
Pizza boxes in our area are in the paper bin if they aren't greasy - and yard bin if they are. I just toss them in the yard bin regardless.
I HATE it when my daughter's boyfriend tosses garbage in the recycling bin. One because I have to fish it out, but mostly just because he is an idiot after telling him each time and he still does it!
