Recycling centres to refuse gas cylinders and bottles
It is part in a Powys-wide move with users urged to simply return them to where they were bought, or contact either Calor Gas or Flo Gas direct to arrange for a return.
“The most important thing to remember is to never throw away gas bottles, cylinders or canisters in your general rubbish bin, as they may explode in the lorries or transfer stations when crushed,” warned Cllr Jackie Charlton, Cabinet Member for a Greener Powys.
“Working together with Potters Group, the contractors responsible for managing the county’s Household Waste Recycling Centres, we try and make sure that getting rid of your waste responsibly is as easy as possible.
“However, there are certain items which we are unable to accept at the recycling sites. From June 1 we will no longer be able to accept gas cylinders and bottles.
“Although this may seem inconvenient, these items are actually very easy to recycle by returning to your place of purchase. If this isn’t an option, you can contact either Calor Gas or Flo Gas direct to arrange for a return.”
You can check the cylinder or bottle for details of how to return and recycle, or visit:
