Hennepin or Ramsey County HHW
1-lb green Coleman cylinders + corroded BBQ tanks both accepted at county HHW. Never trash camping cylinders — US DOT prohibits re-filling them, and any residual gas can cause a truck fire.

Refillable 1-lb tanks
Newer 1-lb cylinders ARE re-fillable (Flame King, Manchester). Look for the green threaded valve and a DOT marking. Refill at a propane dealer (~$1) instead of disposing.
