[philmont] Disposing of gas cannisters

Two years ago we took 2 white gas stoves to Philmont, which worked fine.
Since we were flying in, I shipped the stoves by UPS, and bought the gas
at Philmont.

This year, the scouts are talking about wanting to take cannister
stoves. Some questions:

1) Which type of cannister does Philmont sell at the backcountry trading
posts?

2) Will the staffed camps accept empty cannisters as trash?

3) Will headquarters accept empty cannisters as trash?

4) Can we ship full or empty cannisters, or check them on the airline as
luggage?

I'm more interested in answers to these questions, and less interested
in "are white gas stoves better than..." discussions, but who can
control this group :-)

Thanks for your help,
