Cylinder Recyclers services

Why recycle spent cylinders? The simple response would be that it`s the responsible thing to do given today`s focus on the environment. From a business standpoint, it makes sense because the lines of legal responsibility are clearly drawn. The owners of the cylinders are directly or indirectly responsible for their proper disposal or disposal by a second party. From a customer`s standpoint, the knowledge of the company`s active recycling practices certainly reflects its environmentally friendly value.

Acetylene cylinders come in a wide variety of sizes but they all have the same characteristic, they contain acetone in a binding medium contained within the cylinder. Acetylene is dissolved into the liquid acetone under pressure when it is filled. Over time and many re-fillings, the cylinder will not pass requalification and must be properly disposed of. As mentioned before, the legal liability is clear and the disposal avenues are limited. Proper disposal is the key.

Every year millions of disposable, one time use propane cylinders are left abandoned at camp sites across the country. Without a proper outlet for these cylinders millions more are being stockpiled in owner`s garages waiting to be disposed of. Due to their highly pressurized contents many landfills and town waste facilities have simply chosen not to accept these cylinders due to the risk of explosion.
