REFUEL YOUR FUN with Refillable Propane Canisters

 

Thanks to a grant from CalRecycle, refillable propane canisters are FREE* for Mono County residents while supplies last!

Propane canisters are a staple for camping, fueling your campstove, lanterns, and more. Single use canisters produce a significant amount of waste; the best way to Leave No Trace while camping is to not create trash, so why not use a ~*refillable*~ option? 

Residents of Mono County can come claim a FREE refillable propane canister to get them started with the program (*limit one per household, while supplies last). Refillable canisters can be claimed at the Mono County Public Works offices in Bridgeport (above the library) and at the Mono County offices in Mammoth Lakes. If picking up in Mammoth, call Marcella 760-616-4953 or Val Vega 760-616-4189 to arrange pick up or drop off. 

Once you've used all the propane in your canister, simply take the canister to the Mammoth Lakes Chevron (3236 Main St, Mammoth Lakes) and for ~$15 either exchange your canister for a full one, or get it refilled on site. Or, if you're camping on the road, check out refuelyourfun.org for more refill or exchange locations. 

Some folks erroneously think that they can refill a single use propane canister -- this is extremely dangerous and has lead to injury and death. With the Refuel Your Fun refillable propane canister program, you can safely refill the sustainable canisters about 100 times, saving that much waste from our land fills.
