If you are referring to the small 16oz propane tanks, you can usually just throw them in the garbage. If not, see below:

Propane cylinders are all steel cylinders that can be recycled through most salvage yards. The only requirements are to ensure the cylinder is completely empty and that either the main valve or the pressure relief valve is removed. These valves are similar to valves you find in the stems on your car tires and can be unscrewed from the fittings. To remove the valve, you will need a long tire stem tool which can usually be purchased at an auto parts or hardware store.

BEFORE removing the valve, you must make certain the cylinder is empty. To empty the cylinder, take it outside, far from any open flame or possibility of spark, and screw it to a lantern or stove. Open the valve on the lantern or stove. Attempt to light the lantern or stove and whether or not it lights, leave the valve open for several hours to ensure that all of the propane is vented from the cylinder. Failure to follow these instructions may cause personal injury or property damage.

Once the tank is empty and the valve is removed, you should be able to dispose of it at any salvage yard.
