i have no idea; i just put it on my sidewalks and driveway this past winter; have not had to recycle any containers yet.

Not quite sure. Even tried to google it. But I do recycle the empty containers.

Don't bother. It is not safe. There was a recall for this product and company will not stand by what it makes. it is a crappy heater. I finally threw it out. Seemed a better solution than burning my house down.

I would email Zero Waste Moving and ask them. Their customer service is fantastic and you will get the answer you need!

Have not used it for that, but i don't see why not. It is very sturdy, seems waterproof, and would retain the heat (it retains the cold). It is made of a strong paper, with glazed finish. Probably biodegradable.

Right! You can empty them and throw away the can, but you should not throw away one that is full, or partly full. One thing you might do is discharge the can into a plastic garbage bag (holding it tight to the can. You could then toss the bag and the empty can. I imagine most Hazmat disposal places will take them, too, but I don't know for sure.

These liners aren't compostable (have not found any that are) but the diapers we use are so we leave the bag untied when we throw it away so that the diapers will compost in the landfill. if you tie up both ends then they won't compost in the bag the same with O2 and be a time capsule of stank for generations to come

I went to ThermaCare.com and read their FAQ and it stated: ThermaCare® can be disposed of in your regular trash. To be safe, dispose of it 8 hours after it is out of the primary foil package (or 12 hours later for Knee & Elbow products). Care should be taken to keep ThermaCare® out of the reach of children and animals.Hope this helps. Have a good day.

We think so. The ash catcher makes for easy disposal and also has air vent adjusters for better air flow and better heating. Hopes this helps!

You could. But you would have to stay away from the burners and any surface that is exposed to excessive heat.

this is a good point which I would like to know as I want to get one of these but not if an unhealthy chemical is leaching into the water from heating of the plastic. If anyone knows about this I would love to know. thanks

I would think so. I put hot pots right off the burner or out of the oven onto the mat with no ill effects.

NO! The plastic handle would melt from the heat!! You need a cast iron skillet, the handle will take the heat.

Even if it goes to a landfill, it will degrade. Compostable just means it rots quickly. If you have a composting facility where the result of that rot is actually used, that is best, but if it goes to the landfill, it should not still be around in 100 years.

It doesn't get very hot below, I've used it outdoors over a wood-chip path before with no concern. I'd be wary of plastic, but probably wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, heat rises!

I think it is OK to bring it into your home, and it will warm up over time. Yes, the water bowl does leach, you will want to put a plate or some type of tray below it, so as to protect your furniture. Good luck!!

While I cannot say yes or no. I am going to go with no. I imagine it would catch on fire, if you expose it to heat for a period of time. It is just paper. Like construction paper on a roll. I suppose you could wrap food with it, but I don't think you would want to. It doesn't seem that dust free. All you have to do is smell it or handle it. I think you need to stick with the title of the product, and it is clear it is not for food.

Actually, the smallest plastic garbage bag is sufficient, using two of the bags, one inside the other. That's solely for protection, in case the inner bag leaks. Chemicals can be used to offset the odors. However, I change the bags after each "solid waste" deposit. For disposal, I use plastic Folger's coffee containers. The top seals nicely, so there no smell or leak.
