Disposal

Talos Keg | Deflating & Recycling

1

Isolate and Vent the Gas Supply

Turn off the main gas supply line. If your keg coupler features a built-in pressure relief valve (PRV), pull the ring to safely vent the initial top-side pressure from the system.

2

Fully Depressurise the Spear

Remove the keg coupler from the keg head. Locate the red pressure relief lever on top of the spear and twist it anti-clockwise to ensure all remaining internal pressure is completely released from the keg.

3

Flatten and Prepare for Disposal

Once all pressure is completely evacuated, safely flatten the PET keg shell to reduce its volume for transit or disposal.

⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING

DO NOT CRUSH OR ATTEMPT TO RECYCLE A PRESSURISED KEG. Only completely depressurised and empty Talos Kegs are safe to be handled, crushed, and processed for recycling.

♻️ REGIONAL RECYCLING GUIDELINES (AUSTRALIA)

• Local Standards: Dispose of the flattened PET components in accordance with your local municipality's standard plastic recycling protocols.

• Maximising Recyclability: For optimal environmental efficiency within Australia, completely disassemble the empty keg before disposal. Manually removing the inner bladder, the plastic base, and the top handle from the outer PET shell significantly increases the overall recyclability of the materials.

• KegLand Drop-Off Alternative: Empty, depressurised Talos kegs can be returned directly to any official KegLand Distribution Centre (DC) within Australia for dedicated commercial recycling processing.
