Gas Cylinder Recycling, Collection and Disposal Services

Gas cylinders that are empty or partially filled are difficult and potentially dangerous objects to deal with. Gas cylinders can be bulky, heavy and unwieldy to deal with. Added to the fact that the condition of the gas cylinder can sometimes be questionable to say the least then please call for specialist help.

Our team of specialist gas cylinder recycling and disposal specialists are available when you need us, all across the UK. Please call us on 08009991500.

Safety First!

Gas cylinders can be heavy and may need specialist lifting equipment or multiple people to safety move and store prior to collection. The chances are that if you are dealing with gas cylinders on a regular basis then you will know that you need a reputable and reliable partner to help you carry out safe and legal tyre recycling. Gas can be poisonous, can explode and combust instantaneously (depending on the type of gas) so please call us on 0800 999 1950 for immediate help and advice.

Types of Gas Cylinders

The Office of Environmental Health and Safety give some very useful information on their website, some of which is reproduced below:
Compressed gas cylinders come in different shapes and designs, which are mostly based on the pressure of the gases they contain. In general, they are grouped as high-pressure cylinders, low-pressure cylinders, and cryogenic containers.

The high pressure cylinders are typically tall and narrow, thick-walled, heavy when empty, generally made of steel or aluminum, and can withstand up to 10,000 psi. Common examples are nitrogen, helium, hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide cylinders.

Low-pressure cylinders are typically fatter and lighter than high pressure; they have thin-walled, welded seams, and can withstand up to 500 psi. Common examples are liquefied petroleum gases (LPG, like propane) and refrigerant gases.

Cryogenic containers – these containers operate at a pressure of 20 – 500 psi. They have relief valves to help vent pressure as the temperature increases. Examples of cryogenic materials are nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, etc.

Recycling Gas Cylinders – How Do We Do It?

The first thing that we do is to identify the type of gas and potential hazard that we might be dealing with. Our highly skilled team are trained and equipped with the knowledge, training as well as having the experience and equipment to deal with recycling of gas cylinders of all types and sizes. We identify the type of gas involved first as that informs every decision we take.

Once we know what we are dealing with and have assessed the condition of the cylinder(s) then we can decide how best to proceed. Some cylinders (in fact the majority) can be safely reused subject to testing to ensure that they are safe and their re-use is appropriate. Having assessed things properly, we then take the appropriate action to remove and transport to the most appropriate location.

You can be sure that we will remove the gas cylinders safely and effectively, recycling whenever possible.
