Gas Canisters Are Hazardous — and Heavily Regulated

Pressurised gas containers pose serious fire, explosion, and health risks when not handled correctly. Whether they’re full, partially used, or empty, they must be disposed of through a licensed waste handler. Clients often turn to us when dealing with:

• Abandoned or fly-tipped gas bottles at void properties or public spaces

• Used gas canisters from events, industrial, or catering use

• Expired or untraceable cylinders with no return scheme

• Health and safety risks due to storage in communal areas or construction sites

• Enforcement risks from the Environment Agency for improper disposal

At Eighty Eight, we manage gas canister disposal with total compliance and care:

• Collection of all types of gas cylinders — including helium, butane, propane, LPG, CO₂, and nitrous oxide

• Licensed transport by ADR-trained drivers in fully compliant vehicles

• Oversight from our in-house DGSA for safe handling and classification

• Supply of secure storage cages or interim storage solutions if required
