Please note, we do not provide services for household waste. If your aerosol cans are partially full or completely full, they must be separated from your mixed recyclables and general waste. You must ensure they are completely empty for safe disposal.

The Dangers Of Improper Aerosol Disposal
Environmental Pollution
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.
Health Hazards
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.
Fire Risks
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.
