How to dispose of full nitrous oxide gas canisters

Charlie Peters

When it comes to disposing of a full nitrous oxide canister, it's essential to prioritise proper recycling to ensure both environmental sustainability and safety. One company that offers this specialised service is SMS Recycling. They have expertise in handling various types of gas canisters, including cream chargers, fast gas, and deluxe creme gas.


To initiate the disposal process, it is crucial to contact SMS Recycling and inquire about their nitrous oxide canister recycling service. They will guide you through the necessary steps to safely and responsibly dispose of the canister.


One important aspect of the recycling process is a specialised degassing procedure. This procedure ensures the complete removal of nitrous oxide from the canister. The degassing process eliminates any potential risks associated with storing or transporting a full canister. It is vital to emphasise that only professionals with the necessary expertise and equipment should handle the degassing process.





Once the degassing process is completed, it signifies the end of the canister's active state and prepares it for recycling. SMS Recycling follows stringent recycling protocols to reclaim valuable materials from the canisters, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly future.


Remember, when it comes to disposing of a full nitrous oxide canister, it is crucial to rely on specialised services like SMS Recycling. By doing so, you ensure the proper recycling of the canister, including the implementation of a specialised degassing process to guarantee safety and environmental responsibility.
