Yosemite Zero Landfill Initiative: Reusable Propane Cylinders

Description

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.
