JetStream Compressed Gas Service LLC

On-Site
Compressed
Gas Cylinder
Processing

  • Protect your team and the environment.
  • Reduce costs.
  • Support compliance.

We conduct cylinder recycling operations on non-hazardous and flammable compressed gas cylinders only. We do not handle  Hazardous compressed gas cylinders (e.g.: Chlorine, ammonia, pentaboraine.) but can arrange for a responsible party to handle them if needed.

 

JSCGS will inspect and segregate hazardous and non-hazardous cylinders before starting cylinder operations.

 

Non-hazardous Gasses

Non-hazardous compressed gas cylinders are limited to oxygen, nitrogen, breathing air or materials that can be vented to the atmosphere. Cylinders will be inspected and cataloged.  Then the cylinders will be vented and de-valved. De-valved cylinders will be marked and can be drilled to them render non-useable. Cylinders with damaged or inoperable valves shall have the valve bypassed and cylinder shall be drilled to render them non-usable.

 

Flammable Gasses

Flammable gases covered under this proposal are limited to propane, natural gas and acetylene.  Flammable gases will be flared onsite.  Cylinders then will be de-valved and marked. Cylinders then will be purged utilizing nitrogen. Purged cylinders then will be drilled to render them non-usable. Cylinders with damaged or inoperable valves shall have the valve bypassed and cylinder shall be drilled to render them non-usable.

 

Certificate of Recycling

JSCGS will provide a certificate of recycling for all cylinders recycled on site at the end of cylinder operations.

San Diego Deconstruction and Demolition

At San Diego Deconstruction and Demolition, we master both traditional demolition and deconstruction processes to meet the unique needs of our clients. In traditional demolition, our crews systematically dismantle building structures and send the source-separated remnants to the recycling yard, landfill, or specialized disposal facilities if necessary.

Deconstruction, however, involves meticulous planning and precision. This process requires detailed assessment of each structural component for potential reuse. Each salvageable material is carefully disassembled, sorted, packaged, and shipped for future reuse. Any non-reusable materials are responsibly recycled. Deconstruction embodies the purest form of recycling—reuse.

National City Public Library – u-Tool-ize Tool Lending Program

u-Tool-ize is a tool lending program intended on providing community members with free access to tools and equipment, with the goal of fostering environmental stewardship, sustainable practices, and personal empowerment. The tool library carries a diverse range of tools for home improvement, gardening, electrical, plumbing, automotive, bicycle, and crafting which can all be borrowed, just like books, by NCPL cardholders. This program launched in July 2024 and is supported in whole or in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.

Before borrowing any tools or equipment, users must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Have a National City Public Library card (full privilege and in good standing)
  • Create a tool library account in MyTurn (enter library barcode and DOB including the slashes, click login)
    • Read and sign the u-Tool-ize user agreement
    • Read and sign the liability waiver and indemnification form
  • Verify identity with a government issued photo ID

After completing those steps, users can check out up to five (5) tools at a time for up to seven (7) days.

Tools must be returned clean. View tool inventory

The u-Tool-ize tool library is located on the second floor of the library, down the hall from the Tech Lab and restrooms. Tools can be checked out during the tool library’s designated open hours. Reservations pick up and returns are available at the Computer Center during regular library hours.

Library staff are not available to train patrons on operating tools or loading/unloading tools from vehicles. Most of the tool listings include links to instruction manuals and videos.

 

Browse & Checkout: The u-Tool-ize room is open Monday & Wednesday 4 – 6pm.

Reservations: Available during regular library hours at the Computer Center (2nd floor of library)

Returns: Tools can be returned during the u-Tool-ize open hours and at the Computer Center during regular library hours.

Walmart – Kearny Mesa

In 2021, we began offering collection bins for plastic bags and films in our U.S. stores. Our program is designed to collect these materials and mix them into a bale with other recyclables. We contract with companies to pick up these bales for sorting and recycling. Although our contracts with these companies require these items to be recycled to the maximum extent practicable, in some circumstances, the companies we contract with determine that items placed in our bins cannot be recycled—for example, a plastic bag may be contaminated.

AIM Recycling – San Diego

Almost every bottle and can you use can be recycled. Look at the label for the universal recycle symbol and the words CA CASH REFUND or CA CRV.* Containers with these markings are good to go in your curbside bin and will be accepted at the recycling center. For more information about the CRV program, check out our Frequently Asked Questions. Other acceptable labels include “California Redemption Value,” “CA Redemption Value” or “California Cash Refund.”

There’s no need to wash or crush your recyclables. Just separate your aluminum, glass, and plastic containers in different bags or bins, and head for the recycling center.

Recycling centers are not owned or operated by the State of California. All recycling center days and hours of operation are determined and overseen by the individual recycling center operator and must be posted at the center. Centers are required to be open a minimum of 30 hours per week, at least five days a week, and at least one weekend day. If you would like to report a recycling center closure or file a formal complaint regarding a certified recycling center, please email CalRecycle or call 1-800-RECYCLE.

Jimbo’s┃Brewcycling Collective ┃Carmel Valley

PakTech beverage handles are made of High Density Polyethylene (#2 HDPE), one of the more commonly accepted plastics in curbside recycling programs. Yet though they’re made of a recyclable material they are rarely picked up or read correctly by the sorting systems at Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs).

Customers can return PakTech beverage toppers to the Jumbo’s Brewery takeback bins. The restaurant will then transport the collected PakTechs to one of our collaborative hubs. At this point, PakTechs will be put through a grinder to turn them into a small, usable size for what is to come next.
