"Disposable" propane bottles
begin rant
The use of small "disposable" propane bottles is a pet peeve. Our Canadian home/outdoor marketing giant, Canadian Tire, puts skids of these things out on the floor. Meanwhile, there is no disposal system for them except landfills. They cost the parks system big $$$ to handle them as hazardous waste. What about a recycling fee, collected at POP and distributed to the various municipal disposal sites on a per-unit basis? Meanwhile, sell 5 and 10lb refillables in the same stores? If the little ones get very expensive, then people may switch to the refillables.
