    H4H is a very good charity, but I would like to see some go to the RSPCC & McMillan Nurses.

    I will of course go with the majority on this.

    Why not select 2 or 3 charities then rotate the proceedings from each collection or split it up between the chosen charities...that way everyone is a winner?

    I think Sol should get to choose the charity considering it was his idea, that seems only fair.

    Sol, do you have any further details about who would actually buy these? Is it, to your knowledge just "general" scrap dealers, or a more specialised kind?

    The reason I ask is that the logistics needs thinking about ahead of time, and a person nominated to weigh them in after the meet. If we work on the optimistic side and assume we'll have a shedload (I'll be bringing about a years' worth myself) then that's a lot of space and weight occupying some poor bugger's car.

    The ideal scenario would be to have a dealer local to the Greyhound who would be willing to purchase them and possibly even collect from the site.

    Sound like a plan?

    That makes sense.

    Andy 'Ikarma' has already said that he is advertising this at the Greyhound.

    I wonder if Andy will take that side on about checking local dealers perhaps?

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Andy, over to you

    Hi

    I know this is an old thread, came across it in a search

    I have a carrier bag full of expire co2 capsules. I put them in my recycling bin a couple of time but on both occasions they weren't taken

    So what are they made of, and what should I do with them

    Thanks

    David

    I have dozens of expended co2 and saving them with a view to selling them for scrap.Any funds will go to "help the hero's" because this is a charity close to my heart as a former serving soldier myself.
