EACR Inc. helps businesses, municipalities, and residents responsibly recycle propane tanks of all sizes. Whether you're disposing of a backyard grill tank or clearing out dozens from a commercial site, we ensure safe handling, compliant transport, and environmental peace of mind.
Propane tanks are pressurized and often retain trace amounts of flammable gas, even when considered “empty.” Tossing them into landfills or scrap yards is not only dangerous but illegal in many cases. A single mishandled tank can cause an explosion or fire—posing serious safety risks to sanitation workers and the environment.
According to the EPA, thousands of fires and hazardous incidents occur annually due to improper disposal of pressurized containers. That’s why propane tanks must be recycled through licensed facilities with trained staff and the proper equipment to handle them safely.
