Also during the event, the City of Oceanside a recycling event for one-pound propane cylinders and fire extinguishers, both of which require additional handling and increased cost for proper recycling.
While supplies last, Green Oceanside will also provide one refillable one-pound propane cylinder to each resident who brings in a used one-pound propane cylinder to be recycled. In addition, Green Oceanside will be collecting expired fire extinguishers and used one-pound propane cylinders at the Oceanside Fire Training Center at 110 Jones Road, less than one mile from Fire Station 7.
Refillable one-pound cylinders can be refilled hundreds of times over an approximate 12-year period. This helps reduce the estimated 4 million one-pound cylinders landfilled in California annually. While disposable one-pound cylinders can cost up to $7, the cost to refill a reusable one-pound is approximately $2. Additionally, one pound cylinders are often disposed of improperly, which creates safety issues for both park rangers and sanitation workers. “This is the first one-pound cylinder exchange event to be held in Oceanside,” said Colleen Foster, Oceanside Senior Management Analyst, “this provides a great opportunity for residents to experience the benefits of reusables in the outdoors.”
