Find a Recycling Center
Once you’ve checked local regulations, you can start looking for a recycling center that will accept your helium tank. Many recycling centers will accept empty helium tanks and will recycle them properly. If you can’t find a recycling center near you, contact your local waste management agency or hazardous waste disposal center for more information on how to properly dispose of your tank.

Contact the retailer where you purchased the tank and ask if they offer this service.
In conclusion, safely disposing of a helium tank is an important part of being a responsible consumer. Make sure to check local regulations before disposing of your tank and look for recycling centers or retailers that offer proper disposal services.
