At Schnucks the price for an exchange - empty bottle for a full one is $20+. To
just buy a full bottle without an exchange is almost $50 (ouch!). This is not a
deposit situation - you will not get $30 back if you bring in an empty and not
exchange for a full one.

I think what he means is why trade? It is
only like $12 a bottle if you trade. If you buy one it is like $25.

Why would they return
them to the store, there aren't deposits on them?

This is just one of the reasons I refill, rather than exchange......
Methamphetamine cooks are buying propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart,
Kroger,and emptying them of the propane gas. Then they fill the propane tanks
with anhydrous ammonia, which they now have a recipe to cook Methamphetamine.
After they are finished with the propane tanks, they return them to the
store. The stores refill the tanks with propane gas, unknowing to them the
improper substance that was inserted in the tanks and sell them to their
consumers. Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the
tank. It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane gas and hooked up to a
grill, recreation vehicle, etc.
You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the
valve areas. If there are evidences of these substances, do not purchase the
propane tank and advise the vendor of your findings.
The information was researched, and you should check out the following website
for more details. They also have pictures for you to view.
