What to do with old lighters
Unfortunately, lighters cannot be recycled. The residue of the liquid or butane makes lighters impossible to process, even when they are empty or clean. However, before you throw them in the trash, contact your local sanitation or waste management department to find out what the regulations are where you live. In some states, you are required by law to throw lighters in the trash. In others, however, you must take them to a dedicated hazardous waste site for separate processing.
How to repair a gas lighter
A lighter, also called a cigarette lighter, matchbox,[1] briquet, bricket, chisquero, fire, lighter or tinder,[2] is a portable chemical reactor used to generate a flame. The necessary fuel, usually gasoline or butane under pressure – a wick in primitive lighters – is contained in its tank, and the comburent is oxygen from the air. In addition to the tank, it has an ignition device and a flame extinguishing device.
The most primitive form of lighter consisted of what was called flint, link and tinder. It can be considered as such because all the elements were carried together in one container. The stone was flint, which was struck with a piece of iron (usually a chain link) producing sparks that ignited a bundle of dried plant fibers (tinder). It was extinguished when the tinder was consumed.
A variant of these is the kitchen lighter which, without fuel, merely produces sparks that ignite the gas in the stove or heater. It works well with propane and butane, but not so well with natural gas, which has a higher ignition temperature that does not easily spark.

When something breaks or stops working, it usually ends up in the trash. What most of us don’t realize is that many of these things are classified as “household hazardous waste,” which actually means it’s dangerous to throw it in the trash.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list. Using it you will be able to find out which things are too dangerous to be thrown away, which others are recyclable and which others can have a second life, and what to do with all of them.
Car or motorcycle batteries will have to be taken to a clean point, as the leaching of the acids, chemicals and metals contained in the battery into the soil can be highly toxic. From the recycling of the batteries of the cars most of the lead ingots are obtained to continue manufacturing other batteries or other materials.
Medicines can be deposited in pharmacies, SIGRE Points. We can deposit in the points SIGRE: Expired medicines, Medicines not necessary, Boxes of medicines, Empty containers or with remains.
