2 things
1) I have a bunch of spent fuel canisters. What do I do with them?
2) My Hydropak bladder has gotten pretty gross from drinking river water in it and failing to clean it. Should I dispose
of it? It's pretty old and pretty brown. I was just wondering if there is a shelf life on these things.

1)depends on the fuel canister, I know propane cylinders are recyclable not sure that they are accepted everywhere tho
2)I dispose of my bladders when they come alive (only had to do it twice in 8 years), don't like taking chances. I guess you could always bleach it real good.

Thanks for your help. I was starting to think my question was so stupid it wasn't deserving of an answer.
My fuel canisters are the Sno Peak propane/iso butane mix. The little one's that fit inside the Jet Boil's.
I picked up some Camelback cleaning tabs for my bladder but have yet to use them. I just couldn't bring myself to toss it.

you might try going to the dump, ours has a pretty large recycling area with many different categories of recyclables (batteries, oil, computers etc.). I also remember some of the larger campgrounds (yellowstone and the like) have fuel canister recycling on site.
