What to do with

Gas bottles

Gas bottles can be refilled for further use and should be returned to the supplier. Please do not place gas cylinders in your waste bin as they may explode if they are crushed.

Returning and refilling gas bottles

Many retailers and suppliers of gas bottles will allow you to return your gas bottle once used.

For gas cylinders other than Calor Gas, read the advice on the UKLPG website.
For Calor Gas Bottles, visit their gas bottle return and return page.

Recycling gas bottles

Some local authorities accept gas bottles at household waste recycling centres. Please check with staff at the recycling centre where the bottles should be left so they can be stored safely before being re-used.
