Propane Tanks

Propane tanks are banned from the Central Landfill and are NOT collected by the Town’s waste hauler.  Please do not put propane tanks in the trash or recycling carts. THEY ARE EXPLOSIVE AND CAN HURT THE TRUCK DRIVERS AND WORKERS AT THE SORTING FACILITY.

The Town DOES NOT accept empty propane tanks at the Whipple Avenue Compost Facility per RIDEM permit rules and regulations.

Residents may dispose of EMPTY Propane Tanks at the Eco-Depot located in Johnston at the Central Landfill.  Residents must make an appointment at the Eco-Depot by calling 942-1430 ext. 241.  For more information, visit the Eco-Depot website by clicking here.
