what's the best way to dispose of the disposable mini-cylinders for 
small propane torches?

That's what I did - I made one into a "glasspack muffler" for my Suzuki 
PE175 motorcyle to replace the existing muffler/spark arrester at the end 
of the expansion chamber.  It was much more powerfull and as quiet as 
before.  The spark arrester was not required where I was riding back 
home.

Well, what I do is press down the valve until the
cylinder is totally empty, then poke a hole in it
with a nail.  Or it might be possible to unscrew
the relief valve or whatever it is, which might be
a safer way to guarantee it can't explode.

Both the valve and the relief valve can be unscrewed with a tool used to 
remove tire valve cores.

I have a bunche of these around because they look too useful to throw 
out, but I haven't found a use good for any yet, other than clanging them 
like a bell.  Has anyone else found a use for these?

There are three ways to do a job: good, cheap, and quick.
You can have any two.
A good, cheap job won't be quick.
