Helium Tanks

We see questions on helium tanks in association with the red/pink BalloonTime tanks. Steps for disposing of these are:

  1. Completely open green valve by turning counterclockwise;
  2. Push down on nozzle until tank is empty (hissing sound will stop);
  3. Unscrew white valve nut and discard;
  4. Use hammer and flat head screwdriver to lift, peel back and throw away the small disc;
  5. Circle the open hole and write empty on the tank;
  6. Dispose of as scrap metal (not in a recycling bin/dumpster).

There is a video available on their website at: https://www.balloontime.com/resources/recycle-or-store/
