Building Recycling Solutions That Make a Difference
A Collective for Stewardship
The Cylinder Collective is made up of producers of gas cylinders—the ones typically used for camping, cooking, DIY projects, and other household tasks. These items may end up collecting dust in a garage or be improperly discarded. Through this industry-led effort, the Cylinder Collective has created a stewardship program to support recycling these cylinders easily and efficiently, thereby reducing our impact on the environment.
Setting the Example
The recycling program we’re starting is the first of its kind in the nation. Our hope is that other states will use this efficient and effective program as a model for future industry-led recycling efforts.
