Lynn Bestul, New Hanover County recycling program coordinator, says the county landfill accepts old propane tanks that are emptied and have the valve removed. The landfill is located at 5210 U.S. 421 North, Wilmington [Map this].
Another disposal location is J T Lee & Sons, 1760 Carolina Beach Road. The business charges $5 per propane tank, Bestul says. For more information, call (910) 763-1651.
“The other recommendation is to utilize the propane tank exchanges offered at most grocery, department and improvement center stores,” Bestul says.

My father is the President of Blue Rhino, and I believe if you contact them they may have a more recycled way of disposing of a propane tank.
Or just let me know about them and I’m happy to come get old ones. I cut them up and recycled them into other stuff!
