Are primus and msr fuel canisters refillable? if yes, can i refill them or do I take them somewhere? I don't want to use a stove that will constantly be creating unneccesary trash. I just got the Primus EtaPower EF stove. I thought I could use refillable bottles and multifuel, but after buying realized that is only the EtaPower MF. Can anyone offer any insight? Thanks!

Old question, but no, they aren't refillable, and to be recycled, the canisters have to be punctured first- you can throw it into the recycle bin, but if there's no hole, the sorters will consider it pressurized and trash it.

The Isobutane / propane mix canisters that all canister stoves use are non-refillable. Once empty, however, they can smashed almost flat like a soda can (just make sure it's empty first). In this way, it's fairly easy to pack out empties. Also, I believe that most brands are made of steel, and are recyclable. Hope this helps.
