Anybody know if, how, or where to recycle Coleman (or any other, I guess) Gas canisters?

they're not recyclable, you just have to throw them out when they're empty.

"At this time, Coleman does not offer or recommend a recycling program for 16.4 oz propane cylinders, as residential recycling programs are not yet available in most areas. Most local steel recyclers will not recycle propane cylinders, as there is not currently a means to guarantee that the bottle is empty.

Below are instructions to properly dispose of an EMPTY 16.4 oz. propane cylinder.

CAUTION: Read the following instructions and warning carefully to avoid serious injury!

To properly dispose of an EMPTY 16.4 oz. propane cylinder:
Take the EMPTY cylinder outdoors away from any open flame or ignition source as they can ignite leaking gas.
Attach the EMPTY cylinder to an appliance.
In an outdoor, well-ventilated area, open the control valve on the appliance and light the burner(s).
Operate the appliance until the flame completely extinguishes.
Turn the appliance control valve off and let appliance cool.
Detach the EMPTY cylinder.
Dispose of the EMPTY cylinder in an OUTDOOR trash container for the next normal trash collection. "
