- Propane gas cylinders (LP gas containers) are not collected by the city
- For a propane gas cylinder, consult the owner written on the container (such as the gas dealer); if unknown, contact the Miyagi LP Gas Association (the steps on this page are for cassette gas canisters)
- Do not puncture it (puncturing a canister to release gas is dangerous)
- Always use up the gas before putting it in the yellow container
- Even with the separate collection of "Plastics" (from October 2026), do not put cassette gas canisters in "Plastics" bags (they can catch fire)
