Yosemite Zero Landfill Initiative: Reusable Propane Cylinders
Single-use propane cylinders are classified as hazardous waste. They’re costly to collect, store, transport and recycle, and they often end up in the trash. Around 24,000 used-up cylinders are collected in recycling areas in Yosemite each year, and an unknown number are thrown out. At Yosemite Conservancy, our Zero Landfill and Sustainability Coordinator is working to change that - in collaboration with the National Park Service, Yosemite Hospitality, ZLI leaders and other partners. This effort to reduce improper disposal of single-use propane cylinders will help move Yosemite National Park toward zero-waste status.
This project is made possible in part by a grant from the National Park Foundation through the generous support of Subaru of America.

Thanks for creating this video. I had no idea these kinds of reusable cylinders existed.

Thank you! The company that sells the exchangeable and reusable propane canisters, Little Kamper, has expanded greatly in the past few years. They are available in many national parks. To learn more about the programs availability in your area check out littlekamper.com
Great idea!!! Please get REI and Dick's and Home Depot and... to have these reusable fuel cylinders available so we can exchange before, after trips.
