Caution: Household Hazardous Waste
DO NOT place tanks in a City of Omaha recycling cart or drop-off site container. DO NOT place this item in a waste or garbage cart.
Oxygen Tanks are highly pressurized and require special handling.
The best option is to use up the material in the tank for its intended purpose. Contact the medical supplier you purchased it from to see if they offer a take-back or exchange program.
Where Else Could It Go?
Try contacting a gas supplier or medical oxygen delivery service to see if they can provide disposal information for your item.

Oxygen tanks are specially pressurized, and if improperly handled, they have the potential to cause serious harm.
A pressurized tank should ALWAYS be taken to a special handling facility for safe discharge and disposal, regardless of whether it is empty or has residual contents inside.
