LPG Cylinder Disposal
Damaged, rusted, old, expired LPG cylinders are not permitted to be disposed with general rubbish. Never place any gas cylinder of any size with your recycling. The compressed gas makes them hazardous. Empty LPG cylinders still contain flammable gas vapours so you must be very careful with them. It is essential to properly dispose of old gas cylinders. Never attempt to puncture or open the valve on an LPG cylinder.
All cylinders collected are either recycled or stabilised for proper disposal to minimise waste going to landfill
