Recycling propane bottles?

[Bob Hill]

Hi guys,

I finished my propane bottle (right as I was about to do some soldering - had it all fluxed up and everything). It's for a hand held blow torch, blue bottle about 12-15 inches high.

I'm wondering if there is a way to recycle these bottles or get them sent back to the manufacture It looks like they could be refilled. Anyone know how/where to do this?

Thanks

if its a primus 2000 bottle which it sounds like they are returnable for a new one anything else is in the bin and buy a new one

you can recycle the rothenberger one's with normal waste if you remove the valve i believe.

i just roll them under the bath when i have finished it, is this wrong?

I take them along with my scrap metal. The scrap merchant has a recycling stream for used gas cylinders and aerosols.

never even thought about it just put them in the recycle bin at home don't know if it right :-(

I've put them in the recycle bin at home but once the binman refused to take it and said I had to put it with old gas bottles at the local tip.

Just sling them in with the rest of my scrap steel and weigh them in
