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:
- Verify identity with a government issued photo ID AND National City Public Library card (full privilege and in good standing)
- Read and sign the u-Tool-ize user agreement (signing can be done electronically when you visit u-Tool-ize)
- Read and sign the liability waiver and indemnification form (signing can be done electronically when you visit u-Tool-ize)
- Be 18 years of age or older
- Create a tool library account on MyTurn
After completing those steps users can check out up to five (5) tools at a time for up to seven (7) days. All tools are first come, first served. 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. Tools can be returned to the tool library’s during its designated open hours and to the Computer Center during all other 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.
