Such cylinders can be taken to one of 200 special orange containers for hazardous waste, and specialists will refill them and hand them over to the military, the State Environmental Inspectorate of the Capital District reports on Facebook.
This is a joint initiative of public utilities from "Kyivkommunservice" and the Volunteer Headquarters of the Territorial Defense of the Obukhov region.
The report noted that the cylinders should be thrown into a special hole for batteries. It is also necessary to adhere to the instructions placed on the cylinders, which relate to safe operation and proper disposal.
