Where to recycle compressed gas

Yes, in collaboration with our processing partners, we accept small, single-use compressed gas (propane, CO2, isobutane, and MAPP gas) for recycling.

The propane industry estimates that 40M one-pound propane tanks are sold in North America annually. And because they’re marketed as “disposable,” people throw them out or leave them behind in national parks. The trouble is that residual gas remains in these canisters, which can spark fires and explosions in parks and waste handling facilities.

For recycling compressed gas, we partner with Recycle Aerosol, focusing on safe and responsible disposal.

Thankfully, there’s a way to divert compressed gas from landfill and responsibly recycle it. Recycled compressed gas is processed by placing it in a vessel and purging with nitrogen for safety. Reclaimed propane is sold, and the steel containers are compacted and recycled, promoting environmental sustainability through responsible disposal and reuse.
