| Q. | What do I do with my old tank? |
| A. | You can take your old tank to any Tank Traders® location. Tank Traders® picks up all old tanks and recycles them either by reconditioning the tank for resale or destroying the tank for scrap metal. Do not keep old tanks, and do not include them with your regular garbage pickup. |
| Q. | Can I get a Tank Traders® tank filled at a regular propane station? |
| A. | Yes. All Tank Traders® tanks can be re-filled as normal. |
| Q. | When my Tank Traders® tank is empty, do I have to go to the same store I purchased my original tank from to trade it for a new full tank? |
| A. | No. You can take your empty Tank Traders® tank to any Tank Traders dealer for exchange. |
| Q. | Will my Tank Traders® tank be outdated? |
| A. | Unless you have not traded your tank for over 10 years you will always have a currently dated tank each and every time you exchange it for another pre-filled tank. |
| Q. | What if my tank leaks? |
