How to safely dispose of compressed gas tanks and cylinders
Take old compressed gas tanks to participating retail locations (e.g. grocery stores, gas stations) for recycling and receive a credit towards the purchase of a new tank.
Private recycling options may be available for a fee – contact options like Praxair and Alpine Gas directly to find out what they accept.
If you are a business with compressed gas tanks and cylinders to dispose of, please see our Business Waste resources.
