Hi Miles,

Thank you for your enquiry — it’s very important to safely dispose of combustible items like gas bottles.

Please do not place gas bottles in any kerbside bins! Gas bottles can explode during collection and sorting, posing serious risks to workers and damaging equipment.

We recommend using Recycle Mate to find free local drop-off points where gas bottles and cartridges can be safely recycled. Many council recycling facilities accept these items at no charge.

Please ensure your gas bottles and cartridges are completely empty before dropping them off.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for your recycling enquiry. Please feel free to get in touch with Recycle Mate anytime.
