Ive bought it a few times. I just USPS ground it home to myself. There should be a donation bin at the airport and exit points.

Funny enough! There is a donation/disposal bin for bear-spray at BZN (the primary airport you fly to visit yellowstone).

Seems rather wasteful for tourists to buy a can of bear spray, carry it around for a week, then throw it away. But sad that coming up with some kind of system to hand it off to the next tourist is hard? Otherwise everyone would use the rentals and there wouldn’t be so many in the trash.

The rental cost is nearly the same cost as buying a can, or at least it was when I was there.

Is bear spray like mosquito spray.

No, it's like a super pepper spray. You definitely don't want to spray it on yourself.
