We are urging residents not to put used gas canisters in their household waste bin.

Even when emptied these canisters can contain explosive material which can cause fires in waste collection vehicles and injury to waste workers.

The canisters are common in households as they are used for camping and barbecues. With the warmer weather we have been experiencing lately, the number of barbecue gas canisters being found in household waste has gone up.

If you need to dispose of a gas canister please take it to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre.

Tuesdays, 10am to 12pm, (last session on 23 August)

Come and learn more about the Fox Green project and take part in activities such as arts and crafts, story-telling, active games, family yoga and mindfulness, foraging walks, bug hunts and tree care.

Open to families of all ages.
