Aerosol Acceptance Guidelines

Recycle Aerosol’s unique recovery system is capable of processing an almost endless range of aerosols products.

Most of the cans that we recycle come from one of three sources:

  1. Pre-consumer manufacturing culls which are filled incorrectly or not ready for the marketplace for another reason.
  2. Commercial users of aerosols who need an efficient way to safely handle partially empty cans.
  3. Marketplace returns that often come directly from a retailer of the aerosol product.

Recycle Aerosol LLC will accept prepackaged materials, full or partially full aerosol cans, out-of-date, incorrectly packaged product, out of specification, damaged, brand retired, counterfeit, expired promotional offers, and mislabeled aerosol cans.

Processing Capabilities:

Aerosol, BOV aerosols, inks, paints, solvents, varnish, adhesives, sealants, propane & gas cylinders, hand-held propane torches, shaving cream, hair spray, and a multitude of products packaged under pressure.

By Industry:

Food manufacturers, chemical industry, supermarkets, local authorities, waste management companies, and any industrial high volume producer
