I live in central MA area and interested in buying some used propane tanks. Anyone know of any place within driving distance that sells them?

Does anyone know of a company in the area that might sell used propane tanks or something similar? Also, I've seen some vague references made in other posts to properly cleaning out propane tanks so that any residue is eliminated. Can anyone tell me what residues commonly occur in used propane tanks and what the implications are (boiler corrosion, etc)? This is such a great forum, I sure appreciate everyone's posts.

I’m in NH, and for the life of me can’t get my hands on a tank, or at least get one cheaply. None of the propane suppliers in my area will sell me a 250g tank new or used. They all want to give you the tank in exchange for always buying your propane from them, regardless of the price.

Gates salvage in Hardwick, VT (just NW of St. Johnsbury) was a place suggested by Pybyr as having lots of tanks for sale. If you have access to a decent flatbed trailer it might be a bit of a drive but do-able. A single 250 would probably ride in a full-bed pickup.
