• Nationwide 1lb Propane Tank Exchange Has Arrived (Jun 06, 2023)
  Manteca, CA – May 1, 2023 – In one corner sits an entrenched multi-billion-dollar manufacturer. On the other side of the ring is a small company with an enormous goal. In between them are millions of Americans, who use 1lb propane tanks to fuel portable stoves, BBQ’s and other outdoor appliances. The fight is about hazardous waste and who should foot the bill when millions of 1lb propane tanks need recycling every summer.
  
  “We offer a sustainable choice for people who care about the great outdoors,” observed Josh Simpson, Vice-President of Little Kamper, LP. “Our goal is to reduce propane tank waste in parks and campgrounds. Little Kamper propane tank exchange makes it safe and easy to use 1lb propane tanks without leaving hazardous waste in places we want to protect for future generations of little campers.”
  
  And the upstart competitor is gaining momentum as the busy summer season looms. Thanks to a newly expanded relationship with Ace Hardware, Little Kamper tank exchange is now available in a growing number of stores from coast to coast. In addition, Little Kamper has a budding relationship with REI that will gradually make 1lb propane tank exchange available to REI customers. Those are two big steps in the world of little propane tanks.
  
  A growing number of states are taking steps to recover the high disposal cost of the single use 1lb fuel tanks. In California, Senate Bill 560 (Laird-D) calls for an extended producer responsibility (EPR) program that will pay for the entire disposal cost of the fuel tanks. Accounting for the expenses of collecting, transporting, and recycling, an EPR solution will require the manufacturer to implement a program that funds the cost of getting the used tanks properly recycled. When states on both sides of the country shine a light on the cost of 1lb propane cylinder waste, change is coming.
  
  The Little Kamper program started in California in 2014 and has expanded dramatically over the last 24 months. Now available from coast to coast, Little Kamper is scaling up to compete for the greener future of 1lb propane. For information, visit  https://www.LittleKamper.com.
