Helium Bottles

Helium Bottles

Pressurised cylinders used to store helium gas, commonly used for inflating balloons for parties and events.

 

Disposal Options

  • Helium Bottle - Return to the retailer or party supplier

  • Helium Bottle (Empty) - Launceston Recycling Centre

 

Why

Helium bottles are pressurised containers and can be dangerous if punctured, damaged, or disposed of incorrectly. They cannot be placed in the General Waste and Recycling bins. They are often refillable or returnable at place of purchase.

 

Did You Know

Even when a helium bottle seems empty, it can still contain pressurised gas, which is why they should never be put in regular recycling or general waste bins.
