Waste and Recycling A-Z

Gas bottles

This covers large and pressurised bottles, for example propane, Calor, BBQ.

Empty bottles should ideally be returned to the supplier. This will save you the container fee if purchasing more gas, and you may be able to get a partial refund on the fee paid previously if you don’t want more gas.

Alternatively, they can be taken to the dedicated bay for gas bottles at the Household Waste and Recycling Centre in Smugglers Way, Wandsworth. Arrangements are in place for these to be collected and returned to the suppliers for reuse.

You need to book a slot to visit Smugglers Way.
