Recycle Your Cylinders the Right Way
Cylinder Recycling is Coming Soon
Our convenient and accessible cylinder recycling program is launching in 2025. View our Resources page to see where to recycle your cylinders today.
Products We Accept
The cylinders we recycle are the ones commonly used for camping, cooking, DIY projects, and other household tasks—think propane tanks, helium tanks, and handheld torches. These types of cylinders contain gasses such as propane, butane, helium and carbon dioxide. Our program ensures these products are correctly and safely handled. See which cylinders we accept in your state below. For cylinders not accepted by our program, please visit the Resources page.

What Happens to Recycled Materials
Once collected from a Cylinder Collective drop-off location, cylinders are sorted and sent for processing. Metal from collected cylinders can be recycled and used in new products. In some cases, the remaining gas can also be recovered. By recycling cylinders through our program, not only do we provide opportunities to give these materials new life and reduce our impact on the environment, we also assure that these items are safely and correctly collected and stored until they can be processed.
