Is this system safe to use indoors?
The system can be used indoors in a well-ventilated area. The activated carbon filter captures propane gas during depressurization, but Justrite recommends adequate ventilation as an added safety measure. Many facilities operate the system in maintenance areas, loading docks, or outdoor staging zones. Always follow your facility’s fire safety protocols and keep ignition sources away from the work area.
Can I use an aerosol can recycling system for propane cylinders instead?
No. Aerosol can recycling systems and propane cylinder recycling systems are not interchangeable. Propane cylinders are pressurized much higher than aerosol cans and contain flammable gas — the propane system uses an activated carbon filter specifically designed to safely absorb propane before puncturing. Aerosol systems use different filtration for VOCs and liquid contents. Using the wrong system would be a serious safety hazard.
How long does it take to process one cylinder?
Each cylinder takes approximately 2–5 minutes to fully depressurize and puncture, depending on how much residual gas remains. The activated carbon filter needs time to fully absorb the propane before the puncture step. Always allow the gas venting process to complete fully — do not rush it.
