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:
- Many of our Resource Recovery Centres
are authorised to collect LPG cylinders and red or yellow (Halon) fire
extinguishers. Two gas cylinders per visit are accepted at a rate of $2.50
per kilogram of total container capacity. Fire extinguishers are accepted
free of charge. Please contact Customer Service on 1300 651 116 to find
out which sites accept gas cylinders and fire extinguishers.
- 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. |
