Why Do LP Gas Cylinder Security Deposits Exist?

Encourage Responsible Handling: Security deposits encourage customers to handle LP Gas cylinders responsibly. Knowing that their deposit is at stake, customers are more likely to ensure the proper care and safe storage of the cylinder.
Ensure Return of Cylinders: Deposits act as an incentive for customers to return cylinders when they're no longer needed. This helps maintain a steady supply of cylinders in circulation and reduces the need for new manufacturing, promoting sustainability.
Cover Potential Loss or Damage: In the event that a cylinder is lost or damaged beyond normal wear and tear, the security deposit can help cover the cost of replacement or repairs.
Protect the Environment: LP Gas cylinders are built to last for many years, and their reuse is environmentally friendly. Security deposits motivate users to return cylinders for refurbishment and reuse instead of disposing of them improperly.

How Does the Refund Process Work?

When you no longer require an LP Gas cylinder, you can return it to an authorised EPG Gas location to initiate the refund process. You'll need to present your security deposit invoice as proof of payment. Upon inspection and verification of the cylinder’s condition, the security deposit will be refunded, with possible deductions for any damage or missing parts. If the cylinder is too damaged or not in an acceptable state, the refund may be rejected entirely.

Proof of Payment for Security Deposit

To ensure a smooth refund process, it's essential to present proof of payment for your security deposit (the security deposit invoice). This helps us verify when and where the deposit was made, as the amount can change over time. This measure also combats cylinder theft and ensures that the correct refund amount is processed. Without this proof, we will not be able to issue a refund.
