Key tool
The Coleman Green Key tool is the first step in making empty single-use propane cylinders recyclable. The Coleman Company Inc. enables consumers to be sure their propane cylinders are completely empty before they are discarded along with regular household trash or recycled. The Green Key tool is inserted into the top of the cylinder, where it will remain permanently lodged. After two minutes, individuals can discard or recycle the steel cylinder, confident in knowing that the presence of the bright green device indicates the cylinder is open and empty. The tool is packaged inside the cap of most Coleman-branded propane cylinders.
