Improper disposal of aerosol cans poses serious risks to both people and the environment. Handling these items incorrectly can lead to environmental contamination and put waste workers and the public at risk.
Aerosol cans often contain chemicals that can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly. These chemicals can leach into soil and water sources, causing pollution and harming wildlife.
Many aerosols contain hazardous substances that can pose significant health risks to humans. Improper disposal can lead to the release of these toxic substances, potentially causing respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other health issues.
Aerosol cans are pressurised containers, and if they are punctured, crushed, or exposed to heat, they can explode or catch fire. This can lead to injuries and property damage. Improperly disposed of aerosol cans in landfills or recycling facilities can also cause dangerous fires and explosions.
Booking a collection for your aerosol waste with Collect & Recycle is a straightforward and responsible choice. Whether you have empty aerosol cans, partially used ones, or full aerosols, we are here to assist you in managing them sustainably.
Choose our aerosol can recycling service to make a positive impact on the environment while responsibly managing these items.
If you are wondering how to dispose of full aerosols in the UK, we are here to help. Disposing of aerosol cans that are not empty requires special attention to safety and environmental regulations. These partially used cans may still contain pressurized gases and should not be pierced, crushed or flattened.
Instead, it’s essential to ensure that they are sent to a licensed facility for proper disposal and recycling. Our team at Collect & Recycle is well-equipped to handle such aerosol cans safely, adhering to all necessary guidelines, and recycling them responsibly to minimise waste and contribute to the UK’s recycled metal resources.
If your can is empty, it can be recycled along with your tins in the designated recycling box. This ensures it can be disposed of and recycled safely. It is important to note that our service is specifically designed for businesses with large volumes of aerosol can waste.
Most commonly aerosol cans are made from tinplated steel to stop rusting. They may also be made from aluminium with a tin coating. Aerosol cans are often accompanied by a plastic lid.
