How can gas charged shock absorbers be disposed of safely on 2005 Buick LeSabre?

Safety glasses must be worn during centerpunching and drilling to avoid injuries when discharging gas charged shock absorbers. Use a centerpunch to make an indentation that measures 10 millimeters (0.4 inch) from the tube's bottom end. The shock absorber requires horizontal mounting inside a vise with the shock absorber rod extended to its maximum position. Insert a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit through the marked centerpunch to provide a channel for gas and possibly a gas/oil mixture escape. Shop towels function to absorb the escaping oil. Mar a mark on the tube's midsection using a centerpunch before utilizing a 5 mm (3/16 inch) drill bit to make another hole at this newly created mark while keeping the escaping oil contained with shop towels. Finally place the shock absorber rod in the drain pan so the holes face downward while you move the rod through the tube to empty all oil.
