How do others get rid of the old one? I'm keeping some as spares but still have some real old ones. Any advise ??
I had the same issue and went to the firefighters to know what to do with them. They directed me to the nearest recycling center where they get dangerous goods (one block away) and they took them. I am in Canada so may be different where you are.
