Nitrous oxide canisters are banned from any household or public bins. Collections can be organised through Transnitro or check with the retailer for a take-back scheme.
These should never go in any recycling bin or general waste bin as they are a hazardous item.
The lack of disposal options for this item is a concern, and we urge our community to help advocate and ask retailers for more take-back schemes.

Advocacy for a take-back scheme
Industry funded programs or take-back schemes that encourage Extended Producer Responsibility are an effective method for developing long-term, reliable recycling.
Producer responsibility for recycling also promotes stronger end-markets and more use of recycled materials. Additionally, it means that the ongoing costs of these programs is covered by the companies responsible for creating the waste, rather than consumers and ratepayers.
