Recycling of butane fuel canisters 16-Oct-2017 At 8:07:31 AM Dave_S

I'm not sure if I've tried this with Jetboil canisters, as I usually use the longer, thinner, butane canisters, but my recycling solution is to ensure the canister is fully depleted (by attaching a stove and leaving it lit until the flame goes out), and then use heavy pliers to peel the collar upwards (i.e. the ring about 3cm diameter around the screw thread) and then rip the entire screw valve section out of the canister, leaving a big hole. I usually then stand the canister upright and light it on fire to burn out the remainder of the gas (which will burn slowly and in control as long as you don't tip the canister over), since butane and propane are a lot more environmentally harmful than CO2.

And a "transfer station" is a tip, for rubbish dumping and recycling, but I'd expect they would just go to landfill if you took them there.
