CALOR gas users can help a hospice by taking their old cylinders to a Bishop Auckland dealer.
Spoors, in Railway Street, is giving £5 to the Butterwick Hospice for each empty cylinder that is returned.
Calor is running a poster campaign to promote the appeal, which runs until October 31.
A spokeswoman said: "It helps the public because they are getting rid of their old cylinders and supporting hospice patients at the same time. It doesn't matter what condition the cylinders are in. Calor want them back."
