Gas bottles and cylinders are usually manufactured from robust materials such as steel or aluminium to withstand high internal pressure.
These metals are chosen for their strength, durability, and ability to be reused through recycling once the container reaches the end of its life cycle.
Gas canisters are classed as hazardous waste because they often contain pressurised, flammable, or sometimes toxic gases. Even when they appear empty, they can still hold residual contents, which means they must be handled by specialists to avoid risks.
Safe disposal of gas canisters involves a controlled process carried out by trained professionals. The canisters are first checked and depressurised to ensure they are completely empty.
Once safe, the metal body is recycled, allowing valuable materials like steel and aluminium to be recovered. This ensures full compliance with safety and environmental regulations.
Gas canisters can pose serious risks if not managed correctly. Improper handling or disposal can lead to leaks, explosions, or fires due to the pressurised gases inside.
Some gases may also be harmful to health or the environment. This is why it’s essential to use a professional recycling service, ensuring the canisters are dealt with safely and responsibly.
