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.
Proper disposal is crucial to minimise their impact on the environment. This is why we recycle aerosol cans and help businesses safely and sustainably manage their hazardous waste. Because of their hazardous nature, this waste should only be placed in your general recycling bin if completely empty.

How To Dispose Of Aerosol Cans UK
Aerosol cans are designed to spray substances. Examples of these cans include spray paint, air freshener, deodorant, cleaning solutions, repellants, cooking sprays and much more.
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.
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.
