PROPANE TANKS & OTHER CYLINDERS: Approximately 3000 propane fires and explosions are reported yearly. The Transfer Station does not collect propane tanks because they are pressurized and may explode when compressed.
Before you dispose of your tank consider;
- Use the gas completely, and the label has to be visible.
- Contact and bring a tank to your propane supplier for recycling
- Bring an empty depressurized used tank to a scrap metal facility for recycling.
- Bring it to a local Hazardous Waste Collection Day event for free.
CLICK HERE to read more about the disposal of hazardous tanks.

FREE RADON TESTING: Sign up for your FREE radon test today! Did you know that elevated radon levels are common? About 1 in 15 homes has a dangerous amount that can cause serious health issues such as lung cancer. This gas is odorless and invisible, says the EPA, and it causes no immediate symptoms when exposed to humans or pets. The only way to know if your home is affected is by testing your residence. If you would like to schedule your FREE home test, please call Dillon Point of the Air Quality Program at (518) 358-5937 ext. 5055.
