Recycling Aerosols
Recycling aerosols? Yes you 'can'!
Can I recycle aerosols?

The Uk provides over 2000 banks for the recycling of aerosols and around 75% of local authorities will collect them kerbside.
Approximately 600 million aerosols are consumed in the UK each year so recycling your used aerosol cans will make a difference.

- remove any removable parts of the aerosol like the lid etc and recycle with the correct materials.
