Aerosol cans (such as deodorants, air fresheners, or spray paints) can be recycled, but only if they’re completely empty.
Once you’ve confirmed the aerosol is empty, it can be placed in your mixed recycling bin along with other metals.
It’s important that the cans are left intact as piercing or crushing them can be dangerous and release harmful gasses.
If you need to get rid of an aerosol that isn’t empty, place the can in your general waste bin.
Hazardous aerosols containing paint or solvents should be taken to a household waste recycling centre and taken to the hazardous waste section.
