Spotted in the hedge, some orange propane bottles, 1x3.9KG,
1x13KG, 1 bigger, with taps and plugs - worth retrieving?3.9K yes, big bottle nah.
-- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite
Yep,
Retreive them than tell Calor where they can come and collect them.
I think he means retrieving for himself? the smaller type you have to pay a £10 deposite if you want a bottle of propane at a filling location, otherwise it's £10 for a refill with bottle supplied.
13Kg you don't get nuffink for it.-- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite
Yes, you could make a diy sandblasting pot. With which you wouldn't want to sandblast timber of course :-) Also, our local fire-extinguisher salesman told me recently that we could re-use an old extinguisher to hold compressed air, ready at all times to inflate wheels etc. Suppose you could do the same with a gas bottle if you were so inclined, had the right fittings etc.....

Financially? No.
Environmentally? Yes.
Or you could give them to whoever it is here makes them into wood-burning stoves.
Pity you've missed Halloween....
Make sure they are not being used. BT sometimes leave them in the hedge to charge the phone system
I think Calor have a scheme on at the moment if you hand in lost bottles they donate to charity?
Not personally lucrative but the environment and some good cause would both benefit.

Yep, I'd always wondered how they powered the phone system!
Do you want to tidy the hedge up?
They're of no commercial value to you. If they're Calor bottles, Calor _may_ give Childline a fiver for them if you take them back. You'll never get a "deposit" back on propane.
If you want to buy some, they're a couple of quid each at my local dump
- any size, often half-full.

And this why Calor/filling stations charge a deposit because they're ending up in a scrap metal yard.
p.s he's got one for free why would he want to pay for one?
-- Sir Benjamin Middlethwaite
Why would BT be using propane "to charge the phone system". Dry nitrogen yes but propane?
Gas, phone? They fit together quite well :-)
I'll get my coat.

The message from "The3rd Earl Of Derby" contains these words:
ISTM that you have that the wrong way round. Calor gas bottles got dumped because Calor agents would only give a refund if the original invoice showing the amount of the original deposit was produced.

If you *need* them personally Yes, otherwise No.
Ooo, any one know who it is, do they have instructions, is there a web page I can look at? I once saw one years ago at an American Civil War display and thought how good they are and how useful they would be when our own re-enactment group go camping on a cold night.
