MAPP Gas Cylinder Recycling at Synergy

Can You Recycle MAPP Gas Cylinders?

Yes, you can! At Synergy, we prioritise the recycling of MAPP gas cylinders.

Guidelines for Recycling MAPP Gas Cylinders

Empty Cylinders: Once a MAPP gas cylinder is empty, it can be recycled like any other metal. However, it has to go for a process to purge the cylinders from all hazardous gases.

Non-Empty Cylinders: Cylinders that still contain gas or liquid are considered hazardous. Never pierce, crush, or expose these cylinders to heat. They must be handled with caution to avoid accidents and to ensure the safety of waste management personnel.

Why You Shouldn't Crush MAPP Gas Cylinders

Crushing or piercing MAPP gas cylinders can be dangerous, especially if they aren't completely empty. Even if you think the cylinder is empty, we strongly recommend disposing of it intact to avoid any risks.

Handling Partially Empty Cylinders

Safety Precautions: A partially empty MAPP gas cylinder still poses risks due to its pressurised contents. If you’re unsure whether the cylinder is fully empty, treat it as a safety hazard:

  • Do not crush or heat the cylinder.

  • Avoid placing it in mixed recycling bins where it could be hidden beneath other items.

Disposal of Hazardous Cylinders: Partially filled or full MAPP gas cylinders should be disposed of through specialised hazardous waste services to ensure they are handled safely.
