When I went, I got a brand new tank in exchange. After I use up the propane, I go to Superstore - cheapest place for refill. Whenever that tank expires, I will go again to Home Depot to get newer tank.
They only carry the 20 pounders. Even then, why go to the recycling depot? Just drive down any alley and there'll be one sitting in the weeds beside the garbage cans. I don't think Superstore look at the expiry dates when you get an exchange bottle. Gotta learn the frugal asian way.............
