How can I dispose an aerosol/deodorant can?

Question

Hi.

I have a few aerosol/deodorant cans that I want to dispose of. Some of them are still half full but I dont want them anymore. Can I put them in the black bin with all my other rubbish?

The reason I am asking is because on the back of the can it says do not pierce or burn even after use. Wouldn't the can get pierced when it gets crushed in the bin wagon?

Answer 1

Yes the black bin is best do not burn ever or you will have an explosion on your hands. When crushed by a bin wagon it is enclosed and compacted.

Answer 2

just throw it in the garbage

Answer 3

If you have recycling facility it goes in the same basket as the plastic bottles and cans...

Answer 4

Go to your State (if in U.S.) website, search for pollution or environmental quality. The website should have a link for the recylcers and disposal places for everything.

usually those addressees are: www.TEQ.state._____.gov.

                                                 That would be Texas for example. Each State may very somewhat on their titles. There is loads of info, and usually can link to EPA website for even more info.
