In the past, I contracted with Integrated Environmental Services (IES) out of Atlanta
https://www.iescylinders.com/index.php/domestic/
1445 Marietta Boulevard
Atlanta, GA 30318-4143
Phone: 404-352-2001

At the time, they seemed to be the only company that had the experience and the knowledge to deal with several of the little blue cylinders. 
There is also a good disposal article from them at :
https://www.scribd.com/document/15062569/Pentaborane-Taming-the-Dragon-pdf

and of course, there is the warning document from the manufacturer at:
https://media.msanet.com/www/PDFs/MSANorthAmerica/SafetyNotices/Pentaborane081498.pdf

I don't have to tell you how nasty and dangerous this is .....
Please tell the owners to be very careful.
