Could someone please suggest me how to properly get rid of empty gas canisters ( Weber ~450g ) ?
I guess just throwing them in a trash bag is not an option ?
Hello
1) Where they sell them.
2) At a Sonderabfall collection point:
This can be during the communal Sonderabfall collection day. For details see your communes Entsorgungskalender
for ex. Zollikon: https://secure.i-web.ch/gemweb/zolli...line-schalter/
or at the nearest incinerator with a Sonderabfall collection point http://vbsa.ch/anlagegruppen/kva/
Thanks !
I've tried to give them back at coop bau&hobby but the lady there did not know what to do with them, maybe she was new...
You may also contact and the cantons Zurich administration responsible for waste disposal, if does gas canisters are considered as Sonderabfall.

I am pretty sure they are as Druckgaspatronen are listed on this list: https://awel.zh.ch/internet/baudirek...ntsorgung.html
The cantons administration also has a list with all Sonderabfall collection days per commune and some information in English (not as extensive as the German one): https://awel.zh.ch/internet/baudirek...e/english.html
If the canister has the new red and white https://www.cheminfo.ch/kennzeichnung.html or old orange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_hazard_symbols high flammability symbol, the retail outlet which sells them MUST take it back.
Look like your canister, at least when bought today, has one: https://www.weber.com/CH/de/zubeh%C3...B6r/26100.html
Bring back your empty gas canister to any gas station and buy a new one right there and then. Unless you bring back an empty gas canister when buying a new one, you have to pay a deposit. For a smallish canister the deposit is about Fr. 50.- more than the canister itself.
No deposit for OPs canister.
Just wanted to thank everybody for all the information !
