Recovery Cylinders
BOC has a fully-licensed and compliant recovery and reclaim operation which is second-to-none in the UK.
We can dispose of refrigerant in every package size, from small cylinders to drums and tankers.
We have a UK-wide delivery and collection service and over 70 trade outlets across the country.
We also provide a stress-free administration service when it comes to consignment note requirements.
When Recovering Refrigerants
Do
- fully complete the consignment note prior to collection
- put the right product in the right cylinder
- identity that the cylinder you are using is suitable for that refrigerant
- use the right recovery equipment
- ensure the recovery equipment is clean and free of contaminants
Don't
- mix refrigerants, especially if you are requiring a credit
-
overfill cylinders as this may incur penalties. Please note: suppliers are obliged to notify the Environment Agency of any companies continuing this dangerous practice
Recovery cylinders
Recovery cylinders are used when the refrigerant in a system is no longer required and needs returning for reclamation or destruction.

Hydrocarbon and ammonia recovery
Special cylinders are available for the recovery of the hydrocarbon refrigerants (CARE) and ammonia. Please call 0800 02 0800 for further information.
Decant cylinders
Decant cylinders are suitable when it is necessary to temporarily remove a refrigerant from a system and then reuse the refrigerant. This usually occurs during mechanical maintenance.
Please note: BOC's decant cylinders are changing from gold top/black bottom to grey top/black bottom. Details of our larger drum packages are available on request.
