I'm sorry if I've broke the site rules and upset some members.

I just thought I would try and save a fellow caravaner a couple of quid.

I bought 2 907 gaz bottles many years ago in my camping days, I still keep one for emergencies abroad, the other was just in the way.

The Calor bottle came with a second hand caravan I bought many years ago, I've now converted to Calor lite and this one was in the way also.

But hey ho I'll just take them to the tip and someone can pick them up for free, but you'll have to guess which tip.

No apology necessary Paul if you didn't know, and I don't believe anyone is upset.
The best way to dispose of unwanted Calor cylinders is simply to return them to a Calor depot. If you have the original agreement, there is a sliding refund scale, but this reaches zero in very few years, so I suspect since they came with the caravan, that would have no value to you.
I honestly don't know the rules for the Gaz 907, but suspect that is probably yours to sell if you wish.

Thanks guys, I dont think there is any H&S issue with empty cylinders, when you take it in to Calor for a refill all empty cylinders are checked over and if neccessary fully refurbished before they go out again. There was an article all about it many years ago in the CC magazine.

I got 4 X 13 Kg Calor bottles at my local tip and exchanged them for Calorite when Calor was still exchanging any size for any size.

I assume that the tips are not supposed to do it.
