Can I dump household chemicals down the drain or throw them away in my garbage container?

Absolutely not. It is both extremely dangerous and illegal to improperly dispose of household chemicals. Do not put propane tanks, even the small ones, in the trash as they can explode in the trucks or waste-to-steam plant. Chemicals and tanks must be disposed of properly.
