Gas Cylinder
Recyclable Waste / Non-Recyclable Waste / Consult Retailer
Cassette-type gas cylinders (cassette cylinders): Completely empty the contents and work outdoors, taking care to avoid open flames. If you cannot empty the contents completely, use a gas venting cap or consult the retailer. Use a puncture tool to make a hole and completely vent the gas. Dispose of clean cylinders with holes as recyclable waste. If the cylinder is dirty or contains substances other than gas (such as paint), dispose of it as non-combustible waste. Propane cylinders and large LP cylinders are not collected by the city; consult your retailer. Important: Work outdoors and ensure no open flames are present. Use a dedicated tool for puncturing to avoid explosion or ignition risks. For questions, contact the Cleaning Office or Environmental Policy Division (Tel: 0197-72-8284).
