Old CO2 cylinders: what to do with them?
 
Having a clearout, I've unearthed a couple of empty 250g CO2 cylinders from
a SodaStream machine.

Turns out they are now obsolete as far as Sodastream are concerned, as
their new machines use a different size cylinder, and they no longer
support or refill the old ones.

Does anybody else use these things these days, or are they literally
rubbish? If not, how I am supposed to get shot of them, given that the
local refuse collection centre refuses to take gas cylinders?

Landfill? - seems bizarre.

Bet they'll take half cylinders. Obviously be careful to empty before
cutting...

Our recycling bin collection takes aerosols, so if you lived round here I'd put them in the bin.

I presume you were not working in Brixton (Coldharbour ward has around
11 shootings a year). Add in the rest of Lambeth and you've got about
37/year average.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/exclusive-w...e-shot-1442138

I've done odd jobs there and walking around with a PC under my arm in
broad daylight was slightly worrying. I have driven there at night and
that was enough to tell me to never be there on foot after dark.

Not as frightening as driving into the riots and meeting 2 police cars
coming out, with all their doors open and police hanging off like
American firemen. I made the worlds fastest 3 point turn...

Charing X pronto watching twitter all the way!

I liked Lambeth (or the part I was working in but like most places you only
have to travel half a mile to be in a **** hole). East Dulwich was also fine
but there was a shooting in Camberwell cemetery which was 1000m away from
where I was working. Deptford scared the **** out of me at night. Tottenham
was a bit ****e but not scary even at night

The scariest place was Canary Wharf. It must be the most boring place in the
world.
