Overview

---

This article provides instructions on how to submit a pick-up request to STORE for any compressed gas cylinders that are empty or no longer needed.  

Essential Information

---

• Departments can request STORE to pick up any compressed gas cylinders that are empty or no longer needed. 
• If you intend on purchasing replacement tanks from STORE, you do not need to submit an empty cylinder request as our driver will pick up any cylinders that are clearly marked "Empty" or "For Pickup" when completing the delivery. This helps minimize the number of trips our driver makes to your location.
• NOTE: STORE is unable to pick up any liquid gas dewars. These must be picked up by the supplier directly:
  • For Airgas, please contact csssd@airgas.com
  • For Praxair/Linde, please contact nelly_perez@praxair.com
