Dispose of leftover camping gas canisters 處理用剩嘅露營燃氣罐

Had a few camping gas canisters stored at home for quite some time.

One day, decided to check them and noticed signs of gas leakage. This raised concerns about their safety and proper disposal.

Searched online for information on how to dispose of camping gas canisters safely. Well, couldn’t. Only Handling Compressed Gas Cylinder from the Environmental Protection Department (https://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/environmentinhk/waste/guide_ref/waste_guidelines/unwantedgascylinder.html). 

To confirm if there is an alternative, when recycling others, asked the staff at Green in Everywhere for advice.

They suggested, visiting the nearest fire station, as firefighters could help you.

Taking their advice, went to the fire station. Luckily, the firefighters were working outside the station. So, could ask them the question directly. If not, didn’t know how to contact. They were helpful on safely disposing of the canisters. However, this experience made me question how to manage these items in the future.

To avoid such issues, perhaps it’s best to use up all the gas in the canisters during each camping trip.

有幾個露營燃氣罐喺屋企儲咗一段時間。

有一日，決定檢查佢哋。發現有漏氣嘅跡象，oops！擔憂佢哋嘅安全同點樣去處理。

上網搵搵點樣安全咁處理露營煤氣罐嘅資料，但係唔多搵到。只有環境保護署嘅壓縮氣瓶的處理 (https://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/tc_chi/environmentinhk/waste/guide_ref/waste_guidelines/unwantedgascylinder.html)。

為咗確認有冇其他方法，喺回收其他嘢嗰陣，問一問綠在區區嘅職員。

佢哋建議去最近嘅消防站，因為消防員應該可以幫到你。

聽咗佢哋嘅建議，去咗消防局。好彩，消防員正係局門外工作中。所以，可以直接問問佢哋。如果唔係，唔知點樣敲門。佢哋幫助處理嗰啲露營燃氣罐。然而，今次經驗，問號下次點樣處理。

為咗避免呢啲問題，可能最好喺每次露營，用哂所有氣罐。
