+Tavisman Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 A while ago while caching I came across some gas cylinders (quite big) dumped by the roadside. They were bright orange. I didn't fancy getting any closer, so I walked away. Now my conscience is nagging me. Who do I report this to, the local police? Quote Link to comment
+Team LRS Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I would try the local council.....not sure how quick they will respond tho. Quote Link to comment

modernman Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 If you live in New York you could have just pushed further into the woods, unfortunately, that's what most people here do with industrial waste. Seriously, I'm sure the local goverment offices could eventually put you in touch with the right organization. Quote Link to comment
fatdave42 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) You should be able to tack them back to any dealer and get some money back. You should not need any recent at all. Edited June 12, 2009 by fatdave42 Quote Link to comment
+*mouse* Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 You should be able to tack them back to any dealer and get some money back. You should not need any recent at all. Without a receipt, accepting a return is totally at the discretion of the dealer. They have the right to say no. Most dealers will, so worth a try, but there's no guarantee that you’ll get any cash back …… Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ... Camping gaz ... Not sure about other gas cylinder types but with Camping Gaz you actually own the bottle and they're not cheap either! We're talking £25 for the empty bottle from a pukka supplier... Quote Link to comment
+burtsbodgers Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 ... Camping gaz ... Not sure about other gas cylinder types but with Camping Gaz you actually own the bottle and they're not cheap either! We're talking £25 for the empty bottle from a pukka supplier... The Current standing from Calor/Camping Gaz is the deposit is not a deposit at all but a 1 off rental payment. so returning these bottle will get you no reward. the best bet is inform the local council who will collect and scrap them. However you can get around a £5 for them at car boot sales! Quote Link to comment
+Guanajuato Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Here's an idea: Borrow an angle grinder and chop off the top 6 inches Weld a threaded portion into the top bits Tap a thread in the bottom section Hey presto - a large cache that could quite easily be placed in plain view and STILL be a difficult find!
