Frequently Asked Questions For The Disposal Of Gas Bottles and Canisters
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.
Recycled steel canisters can be melted down and repurposed into various steel products, including new canisters, construction materials, automotive parts, and appliances.
You should dispose of gas bottles and cylinders by using a professional waste collection. Our team accepts gas bottles and cylinders using ADR trained drivers to remove waste. We have vast experience collecting both butane and propane gas cylinders for disposal.
Please note that gas containers should never be placed in general waste bins.
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.
