I imagine that they resell the scavenged propane.

Sometimes it's captured.
When we moved down to the LA area years ago, the moving company wouldn't take any propane tanks we had unless they were empty. So I took them to a big propane supplier, and he took them "out back" where he opened the valve up and "let er rip" -- right out into the atmosphere. I was a bit surprised. Unlikely that would be allowed now I would think, or at least in California!
