Cylinder Amnesty is back!
Due to the success of last year’s LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) cylinder amnesty, Warwickshire County Council’s Fire & Rescue Service, have decided to run it again!
Firefighters are inviting residents in Nuneaton to take part in the amnesty which will run from Monday 29th of October to Friday 9th of November.
LPG when used and stored correctly is perfectly safe, however if you had a fire in your home with a LPG cylinder, the consequences could be disastrous. If you have any unwanted gas cylinders lying around your house, under the stairs, in the loft, garden or garage, then drop them into Nuneaton Fire Station between the hours of 8am and 8pm.
Crew Manager, Mark Rattray said:
“This is a great opportunity to get rid of unwanted cylinders free of charge. By removing unwanted LPG cylinders you are removing any danger to yourselves, your family and fire crews.
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to making your home and Warwickshire a safer place to live in and this is one of the ways that residents can help us to achieve this.”
