Rethink & Reduce Tips

• Rent refillable gas cylinders and tanks.

Additional Resources

• City of Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling

Not Accepted At Hennepin County Facilities.

Note: Do not throw tanks or cylinders in the trash and do not attempt to puncture the cylinder.

Cylinders that seem empty still contain a small amount of residual gas. The cylinder design makes safe collection of any residual gas difficult, and venting the gases to open air will often create a fire hazard or contribute to air quality problems.

Recycle

Call first for possible fees and restrictions. Contact  the point of purchase or manufacturer for cylinder and tank return options.
