Gas bottle

Can I recycle it?

Gas bottles are not collected as part of your recycling collection.

Gas bottles can be refilled for further use and should be returned to their supplier (you might require your purchase receipt for this). You can take unbranded gas bottles to any Household Waste Recycling Centre except the site at Dudnance Lane, Pool.

Please seek advice from a site operative. Do not place gas cylinders in containers as they may explode if they are crushed.
