Outdoor retailer REI has announced plans to expand its propane cylinder exchange program after testing it in several stores in California. The move comes after California banned single-use canisters for camping.
The company has been testing the program for the past year and a half at four of its Bay Area stores – San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Sunnyvale and Dublin – and now intends to launch it in some 50 stores nationwide, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
