The disposal of gas cylinders
is quite dangerous and must be treated with caution.
Cylinders can be refilled many times in their life and the metal recycled.
What to do:
- All of our Waste & Recycling Centres
are authorised to collect LPG cylinders, halon (yellow fire extinguishers)
and fire extinguishers. Two cylinders per visit are accepted at no charge.
- Kwik Gas Cylinder Exchange Service:
This is a national cylinder swap service, where you swap your empty cylinder
for a new or refurbished filled one. Retail locations are across Australia
in selected service stations such as Quix and Mobil outlets, Bunnings Warehouse
and others including caravan parks and convenience stores.
- Swap'n'Go: Swap any Large, Medium or
Camper BBQ Gas Bottle at your local centre. Located at participating Ampol,
Mobile, BP, Kennards Hire, Shell Mitre10 and BOC outlets.
- BOC / CIG, Matheson, Linde, GasTech,
Air Liquide, LAA or Liquid Air cylinders should be returned to the manufacturer
so that no further rental will be charged to the customer.
- Diving tanks should be returned to the
manufacturer, via dive centres or re-fillers.
- Household type gas cylinders (eg: LPG,
fire extinguishers, CFC, small size industrial cylinders) may be accepted
in household chemical collections in your area.
Note: Please contact the cylinder distributor for information regarding
disposal of other types of cylinders. |
