I can't really tell from instructions on the canisters whether you can put the empties in with normal rubbish?

I shouldn't think it's any more dangerous than disposing of any sealed unit, like aerosols

I always recycle my aerosols, maybe you can do the same with empty gas cannisters too ?

Just a thought

a expended gas canister is no more dangerous than a aerosol - if its fulll or half full thats a different matter.

Don't see why not, but if there are facilities for recycling use "cans" or better still "steel cans" if they are empty. Our council recycling collection are happy to take mixed recyclables - packaging, paper, all types of cans etc., while the "tip" accepts refillable Calor/Campingaz cylinders if anyone should need to dispose of one, though I can't imagine why anyone would want to!

So long as they are empty, they can be recycled. With that much metal, please don't bin them!
