Aerosol cans are widely used across all industries, from cleaning and maintenance to healthcare, automotive and cosmetics. However, because they are pressurised containers, they must be handled with care and disposed of correctly. Incorrect disposal can pose serious health, safety and environmental risks, including fire hazards and pollution.
At National Recycling, we specialise in the safe collection, transport and recycling of aerosol cans of all sizes and contents. Our nationwide service helps businesses manage their waste responsibly and meet environmental regulations.
Once collected, aerosols are transported to licensed recycling facilities where the cans are safely depressurised, separated, and processed. The metal from empty cans is recycled into new products, while any residual contents are recovered or treated in an environmentally safe manner.
Get in touch with our friendly waste management team to discuss your aerosol recycling needs. We’ll assess the volume and type of aerosol waste your business produces and provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your site.
Once your service is scheduled, our trained operatives will safely collect your aerosol waste in approved containers and licensed vehicles. We operate nationwide collections that are fully compliant with UK waste transport regulations.
After collection, aerosols are taken to an authorised treatment facility where they are safely depressurised and separated into metal, propellant gas, and residual contents. The recovered metals are recycled, and remaining materials are treated or reused.
