Those Green Canisters?
How are you supposed to dispose of those little Coleman green-gas canisters when they are done? I'm sure your not supposed to just toss them in the trash, but I'm starting to accumulate them.

Just chuck 'em out in da woods, te green color will help them blend into the scenery. If y'all want to go to the trouble youins could bury 'em.

eat enormous amount of chilli, then later that day, shove the end cap up your butt and refill them with nasty farts and then reuse...LOL

Can't you throw them in the recycling bin? I had a buddy get a few of them in a bon fire by mistake and the thing went about 100' in the air and splashed down 3' from his truck. Good one!

Throw them in a dumpster behind the nearest grocery or convenience store

As long as they're empty you can just toss 'em. Just make sure there is no pressure left in them. Try pushing in the ball valve with some wire or a pencil.

Cabela's sells a gadget you can use to refill small propane canisters from a bulk propane tank. An even better way to recycle, & save some money too...
