holding tank disposal?

how do I get rid of my 30 year old, 80lb aluminum holding tank? do you think a recycling place would take a holding tank or do I just bring it to a landfill? never had to dispose of one of these yet.

I'll probably get slammed for this, but mine fit into the dumpster.

Re: holding tank disposal?

You might call a recycler to find out if they'll take it...if no metal recyclers near you, try Waste Management...they take anything except garbage, lawn clippings etc and styrofoam. If not, wash it out as thoroughly as possible...Cut it up or crush it...double bag it in heavy plastic and put it in the dumpster or take it to the landfill.
