Helium bottle

Can I recycle it?

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

Helium bottles can be refilled for further use and should be returned to their supplier if you have hired them. You can take helium 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.
