What to do with empty co2

[Pad. E]

I think Sol should get to choose the charity considering it was his idea, that seems only fair.

Sol, do you have any further details about who would actually buy these? Is it, to your knowledge just "general" scrap dealers, or a more specialised kind?

The reason I ask is that the logistics needs thinking about ahead of time, and a person nominated to weigh them in after the meet. If we work on the optimistic side and assume we'll have a shedload (I'll be bringing about a years' worth myself) then that's a lot of space and weight occupying some poor bugger's car.

The ideal scenario would be to have a dealer local to the Greyhound who would be willing to purchase them and possibly even collect from the site.

Sound like a plan?

That makes sense.

Andy 'Ikarma' has already said that he is advertising this at the Greyhound.

I wonder if Andy will take that side on about checking local dealers perhaps?

Andy, over to you

already on the case,we could also weigh in the empty pellet tins as both capsules and tins are magnetic.....let you know what reply I get from the scrap dealer.

its good to see so many people on board for this.

Why not select 2 or 3 charities then rotate the proceedings from each collection or split it up between the chosen charities...that way everyone is a winner?

rotating it will probably be the best.

i dont mind who it goes to, and i would rather it be a group decision as appose to me choosing just so everyone gets an input.

all i know is they are worth approx 2.5p each, don't know if its just general scrap or something specific though.

thats a great idea its a shame i dont use co2 guns anymore as i had hundreds of the things lying around so i decided to use them for target practice instead.

[beeredup]

This is an awesome idea and i have started to stock pile my empties ;o)

We have now got a fair quantity at Redhill to go towards club funds. On contacting scrap metal dealers they are all refusing them in our area as there is a chance of explosion!!!!!!! when recycling.
Apparently they should be returned to the manufacturer ie Umarex or Crossman for recycling.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems??

I thought just for fun I would cut the top off of one to use it as a slide on my banjo I had always assumed that they was made of some sort of alloy but they are made of steel with a blunt hacksaw I had quite a job to cut the top off of it is it just me or are there others who did not think that they are actually made of steel.

Hi

I know this is an old thread, came across it in a search

I have a carrier bag full of expire co2 capsules. I put them in my recycling bin a couple of time but on both occasions they weren't taken

So what are they made of, and what should I do with them

Thanks
