How to dispose of gas bottles safely.

Do not dispose of gas bottles at home.

Check the name of the gas type on the bottle (for example, Calor). You can then return it to a local dealer of that gas type. For Calor bottles, see the Calor website for more information as you may be entitled to a percentage of the refill agreement charge.
