But I  too would like to know if there is a way to refill/recylcle the empty 
metal  cannisters 


I know a guy who made a male/male valve system using the 1lb Coleman  propane 
to refill his Primus canisters to save money.  He's attach the  two and let 
liquid/gas flow down into the Primus canister. It worked well  until one 
blew-up in his wife's pack whike she was hiking on a hot, sunny  day.  He attributed 
the 'explosion" to over filling.   Fortunately, she wasn't injured, but if 
I'm not mistaken her pack was  damaged.
 
It seems taking a couple partially full canisters on a weekend trip would  be 
safest.
