What do I do with camping fuel?

[Daymoth]

Im moving out and I have 2 pretty much full butane/propane canisters I cant take with me and I have no clue what to do with them.

Ive put them in front of my door to see if any passerby wants them. Nothing.

Trying to see if any of my outdoorsy mates will take them.

Camping stores are shut.

I dont know if I can post them?

Should I use them to make my morning coffee?

Restricted life...I have coffee most mornings on my doorstep...
I believe the neighbours are concerned
This morning, with plum biscuits from my Slovenian friend..

I think some of the local freecycle networks are still operating with restriction on "local" and handover procedures. There's a second network too I think but can't remember the name. Might be worth checking in your local area..?

Local/pickup only?

That's what I use the marketplace for, to sell any items I can't post and get people to pick them up.
