FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions

Gas bottles are made from materials that withstand high pressure and corrosion. This includes steel, aluminium and composite materials. Gas bottles typically hold liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is a mixture of propane and butane. We specialise in both butane and propane gas bottle disposal.

You should dispose of gas bottles and cylinders by using a professional waste collection. Do not place gas canisters in your general recycling bins. Our team accepts gas bottles and cylinders using ADR trained drivers to remove waste. We have experience collecting both butane and propane gas cylinders for repatriation. For households, you may benefit from using a gas bottle return scheme to your specific supplier.

To check if a gas bottle is empty, you can weigh it and compare it to the tare (empty) weight stamped on the cylinder. Another method is the hot water test, which you can find information on here.

The lifespan of a gas bottle depends on its size, usage, and the appliance it fuels. A standard 13kg bottle used for cooking may last a few months, while one used more consistently may deplete in weeks. Regular monitoring and professional advice can help businesses manage their gas supply efficiently.
