I rent a tank of argon to go with my tig welder. Every year I pay the rental plus $10 for the Hazardous Material Fee. I complained once, and got pushed to a higher level, and the the agent while trying to justify the charge said, we have about a million of these bottles out, I cut him off and said, "so you collect $10,000,000 a year in Hazardous Material Fees." He started back pedaling, all my complaining got me know where. Anyway, Who get the Hazardous Material Fee? Is it a government mandated fee, is it split?
