Disposal of Butane Cans

Hey all, so I'm pretty sure I got a bad can of Xikar butane fuel. I verified this by trying a different brand (long story, not the major issue). The issue is disposing of the near full can of Butane. I tried a local scrap metal place that won't take it because it's a pressurized container. I also called a local city agency that suggested I try other scrap metal places, that's not going to get me anywhere.

Any safe and responsible suggestions?

Also, I was wondering if there's a way I can bleed the canister myself and then just throw the empty canister in the recycling bin. Thanks in advance!

Did you try to return it to the store for a refund since it didnt work???

Domestic hazmat garbage collection. (the date or location where they pick up old half-full paint cans, batteries, swimming pool chemicals...)

no, i just want to dispose them.

So I think this in an aluminum can? If so just take a hand heald wire cutter cut a small incision in bottom of can. Be careful not to get it in your face or eyes. Afere it is no longer under pressure you can take it to a scrap yard with your dirty aluminum around here.

I would take it out back and shoot it :)
