When you buy a gas cylinder, you'll pay for two things: the cylinder charge/deposit and the gas inside. The cylinder charge/deposit is a one-off, refundable payment for the cylinder itself.
Once your cylinder is empty, simply exchange it for a full one and only pay for the gas refill. If you no longer need the cylinder, you can return it and claim back your refundable cylinder charge/deposit, subject to the supplier's terms and conditions.
How it works:
- Buy your cylinder and pay the cylinder charge/deposit plus the gas fill.
- Use the gas as normal.
- Exchange your empty cylinder for a full one when needed.
- Pay only for the gas refill on future exchanges.
- Return the cylinder if you no longer need it and reclaim your refundable deposit.
This system provides a convenient and economical way to maintain a continuous supply of gas while retaining ownership rights to the cylinder through the refundable cylinder charge/deposit scheme.
