Hi, can anyone advise how a business can dispose of Propane and Butane cylinders. One of my clients has two of each and has tried to have them removed from his premises without any success.

Posted By stephen d clarke Hi, I had a similar problem a few years ago if memory serves the suppliers will pick up their own cylinders if you get in touch with them. Try the following website and I'll also e-mail an excel file with supplier names and addresses etc. http://www.lpga.co.uk/Steve

I have the WISH document on “Orphaned” Compressed gas cylinders in the Waste and Recycling industry", which includes address details of the various suppliers and how you can 'repatriate' cylinders with their rightful owners. Drop me an e mail and I can forward it to you as a Word doc.

Stephen and Phil, and anyone else who may be interested.
I passed your information on to my client and he made a phone call using one of the a numbers on the list.
The cylinders were all collected first thing this morning.
I call that a result!
Thanks again.

Is there any chance I too could have the list please? As I am in similar situation in regards to 'unloved/unwanted' cylinders and having difficulty in disposal of said items. Cheers in anticipation. Stu

good question and good answer - I have a client who says he can't get rid of an old and no longer labelled cylinder (acetylene probably -- it is reddish orange rather than either red or orange) - its been in my last two audit reports to go via a specialist disposer -- he will have to make some efforts now

Richard,
I would advise your client to take great care if handling the cylinder as, if acetylene it could be very unstable. Do not drag or drop as friction can start off a heat reaction inside the cylinder.
Acetylene cylinders have a concave base to enable them to stand upright, - propane have a convex base with a metal ring to enable them to stand upright.
If orange I doubt if it is acetylene, probably an aging propane cylinder.
Take great care anyway.
