Aerosol Can Disposal
Aerosol cans are regulated because of their propellant and ignitable contents. We collect recalled, expired and off-spec aerosol products from stores, distribution centers and manufacturers and send them for puncturing, propellant recovery and can recycling.
Where your state allows it, aerosols are managed as universal waste, which is simpler and cheaper than full hazardous waste handling.
