Disposable gas bottles are considered hazardous waste and must not be disposed of in a regular bin. Incorrectly disposed gas cylinders and other harmful waste such as batteries have caused trucks and rubbish tips to explode and catch on fire. Not only does this present danger to people, but toxic gases from exploded cylinders can pollute waterways, drinking water, soil and plants.
Illegal disposal, dumping or misuse of wastes is a serious offence and subject to financial penalties. Disposing of disposable gas bottles safely by taking them to an appropriate hazardous waste facility is your duty as a responsible citizen.
