It's nearly impossible to get rid of a camp stove fuel canister in Maine

Gas canisters used to fuel camp stoves can be a big challenge to get rid of in Maine once they’re empty. They can’t just be thrown out. They aren’t recyclable. There’s no collection programs for them. In short, nobody wants them. As a result, these non-reusable, potentially combustible cans pile up in garages and sheds — or they get dumped in the woods. “I’ve seen them in weird spots, like floating in the Kennebec [River],” said John Kirk, an avid fly fisherman from Portland.
