DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLEMAN® PROPANE CYLINDERS

Unfortunately, residential recycling programs for propane cylinders are not yet available in many areas. If a propane cylinder recycling program is not yet offered in your area, below are instructions to properly dispose of an EMPTY 16.4 oz. propane cylinder.

CAUTION: Read and follow instructions and warning on the propane cylinder before disposal to avoid serious injury or death!

To properly dispose of an EMPTY 16.4 oz. propane cylinder:

• First, ensure the cylinder is EMPTY.
• Take the EMPTY cylinder outdoors away from any open flame or ignition source as they can ignite leaking gas.
• Attach the EMPTY cylinder to an appliance.
• In an outdoor, well-ventilated area, open the control valve on the appliance and light the burner(s).
• Operate the appliance until the flame completely extinguishes.
• Turn the appliance control valve off and let appliance cool.
• Detach the EMPTY cylinder.
• Then follow local rules for disposal.

In Canada, any pressurized container, including propane cylinders are considered to be Hazardous Household Waste. You must follow your local rules for appropriate disposal; that may require the cylinder to be taken to a Hazardous Waste depot or collection event. Contact your Municipal Waste Management department for information for your area.
