Resolve, To Study The Safe Disposal Of Single-Use Propane Canisters

This bill (LD 1035) directs Maine's Department of Environmental Protection to study how residents safely dispose of single-use propane canisters and research whether a statewide ban on non-refillable canisters is feasible. It requires the department to analyze current disposal infrastructure and submit a report to the Environment Committee by December 3, 2025. The study does not enact any new law but may lead to future legislation based on its findings. It directly affects Maine residents who use these canisters for outdoor activities, cooking, or heating.
