Common aerosol cans include air fresheners, whip cream, cooking oil spray, hair spray, household cleaners, insect sprays, shaving cream, spray cleaners, spray paint, and weed killers
Aerosol cans contain an active ingredient and a liquid or gaseous propellant that is packed under at least 40 pounds pressure per square inch.
Proper disposal depends on whether the container is empty or still has some of the product still in it. To check whether the aerosol can is empty point it at something you don't mind spraying and press the top.
If anything comes out of the can or you hear a hissing noise, it must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
NOTE: Empty cans are not accepted at the Hazo Hut, they can be put in the garbage.
The easiest way to get rid of the aerosol can is simply to use the product until the can is empty, and then dispose of the can as scrap metal or in the garbage.
Remove plastic tops from empty spray cans, but not the spray nozzle portion, as even when empty the inside is pressurized and can pose a danger if punctured.
