I get mine filled at Illinois fire extinguisher company, out in Lombard on Rte 53 - it's only 10 min from my house. Don't know if they sell new/used cylinders. 630-629-2413

If you are on the north side of Chicago near Evanston, you can go to "Evanston First Liquors" and get your CO2 tank refilled for $20. However, I am not sure whether they sell/rent CO2 tank or not.

I live in Elgin and get my CO2 refilled at Fox Valley Fire & Safety. They just moved to a new location out by Randall Rd. and Rt. 72. Just dropped off my 5lb tank today, in fact. My tank is past due for testing, so it's going to take a couple days to get it back. Hydrostatic testing plus a full recharge = $36.

Got my 5lb tank back from Fox Valley Fire & Safety. Ended up being $37. It would have been only $15 if it wasn't for the 4-year mandatory tank testing. I also could have gotten filled in 10 minutes while I waited instead of two days because of the testing.
