Recycling Aerosols

 

Aerosols can now be recycled from home. All you have to do is:

• make sure they are empty
• remove loose plastic lids
• put them loose in your blue top recycling bin.

Veolia Environmental Services, who are the designated waste contractor for Hampshire, have recently secured markets for aerosols which means they can now be recycled along with food tins and drink cans.

Empty aerosol cans such as deodorants, hair sprays, air fresheners and furniture polish can all be accepted for recycling. Please do not pierce or squash them.

Aerosols with orange hazard symbols – including insecticides, oven cleaners, paints and automotive sprays – are not accepted for recycling and should be placed in normal household waste bins for disposal.
