Planned Maintenance to Mapping Services Wednesday 11th November

We will be carrying out essential maintenance to our mapping services on Wednesday 11th November from 9:00am to 11:00am. During this period, some Telford & Wrekin websites and applications that use mapping features, including My Telford, may be temporarily unavailable or experience intermittent issues.

Thank you for your understanding while we complete this important work.

Bins and recycling - Butane Gas Canisters

Item Butane Gas Canisters

Which bin/container should I use? Butane gas canisters can be taken to either Household Recycling Centre (HRC).
What can you do with it?

As these canisters contain highly pressurised gas or fuel, they present a significant safety risk if placed in either the red top or purple top wheelie bin.

If crushed, punctured, or damaged during the waste collection process, they could cause a fire or explosion.

For this reason, butane canisters must not be disposed of in a wheelie bin and should instead be taken to an HRC for safe disposal.
