Gas oven disposal...

Posts: 2 Newbie
We've had our old gas oven officially disconnected, but apparently most places supplying a new electric oven, will not remove your old gas cooker, unlike electric. The Gas engineer said that often recycling centres don't take them either - because of residual gas issues?
Any ideas what the best way to dispose of a gas cooker is?

Our last one, we put outside whilst we decided what to do with (were planning on flagging down the rag & bone man anyway) and the rag and bone man took it without asking!! Good job we weren't waiting for someone else to pick it up.Ditch 100 in January Challenge 100/100

ive never heard of a council tip refusing to take a gas cooker.
ours even takes gas cylinders. far more dangerous.Get some gorm.0 -
As the other folks have said, I'm sure if you put it by your drive someone will take it off your hands!0

Our recycling centre is happy to take half-full camping gaz cylinders, so I don't see any reason for them not to take a gas cooker (which has no cylinder)
Rather than relying on hearsay, why not phone your local council's waste department and ask them?0 -
The 'do as you likeys' will have it off you wuthin 10 minutes of you putting out the front.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0
