Bin Collection Day

Which bin for gas bottles and camping gas?

Usual answer in the UK

Special Special collection or specialist disposal

Gas cylinders must never go in a bin. Return them to the supplier or ask your tip whether it accepts them.

Also possible: Household waste recycling centre (the tip).

Does every council do this?

Most councils follow the answer above, but bins and sorting rules are set locally, and a few councils still do things differently. If your bin has a sticker, or your council sent a leaflet, follow that. Enter your postcode to go straight to your council's guidance.
