While I'm on the road I usually "Swap 'n Go" my empty LPG bottles, when I'm at home I have them refilled as it's lots cheaper. Today I took three gas bottles in to be refilled only to have two rejected as "Out of Date", these were bottles I had swapped earlier this year at a big outdoor and camping shop.
My whinge is I had handed in several good bottles less than ten years old and assumed I was getting the same back, not so. It seems the policy of this camping shop is out of date bottles will be swapped at the same price as bottles in survey so you often end up with old bottles which they will not refill only swap. In future I will carefully check the date on "Swap Bottles" and only accept those that are less than ten years old.
I know it sounds convoluted but it's late and I'm tired.

The Kingsthorpe Pub sells Kwik-Gas exchange bottles, I have three from them, one for the campervan gas fridge, one for my Weber Family Q and one for my Weber Baby Q!  Which all come in handy as when one runs out we can do a quick change without doing a runner to the Pub!
They will accept anything for an exchange, does not matter if it is out of date so long as it is a gas bottle.
