Refillable Canisters
Project description:

Refillable propane canisters are often disposed of improperly, causing hazardous waste to enter our landfills, and at times can injure waste management employees. This project provides Outdoor Adventures with refillable propane canisters to reduce waste in our landfills and encourages users to think twice about using disposable options. Based on the California Product Stewardship Council, refillables can last up to 12 years, can be refilled hundreds of times, and accumulate in $128.26 in savings after 50 uses per canister.
