Gas Cylinder & Pressurised Container Recycling
Gas Cylinder & Pressurised Container Recycling
Safe, compliant, and sustainable disposal of cylinders and aerosols
Gas cylinders and pressurised containers — including nitrous oxide cylinders, aerosols, and fire extinguishers — cannot simply be thrown into general waste. They pose risks of explosion, fire, and environmental harm if not handled properly.
At Waste Choice, we provide a specialist collection and recycling service for pressurised containers, ensuring safe handling, regulatory compliance, and environmentally responsible outcomes.
What we recycle
- Nitrous Oxide cylinders — single-use and refillable
- Aerosol cans — paint, cleaning, and product aerosols
- Fire extinguishers — powder, CO₂, foam, and water types
- Gas cylinders — LPG, oxygen, and other compressed gas bottles
