We need your help to protect our crews, vehicles and depot...

We are increasingly finding gas canisters in our recycling sacks. While we encourage the recycling of household aerosols we are unable to recycle fuel containers from the kerb-side due to the high fire risk these items present.

With the summer picnic and camping season fast approaching we are expecting more of these types of portable fuel containers to be used. If you have gas canisters please take them to a household recycling centre to be safely handled and recycled correctly. Do not put gas canisters in your general waste bin as they have a high fire risk when compacted within the collection vehicle.

Thank you for recycling safely and helping to protect our crews, vehicles and depot.
