Acceptance of Aerosols in Kerbside Recycling
Collections
Householders in Hampshire, Portsmouth and
Southampton, can now recycle empty aerosols through their kerbside
recycling collection and in can banks around the county.
Project Integra is the partnership of all
local authorities in Hampshire working together to manage waste and
recycling in the county. The designated waste contractor for
Project Integra, Veolia Environmental Services Hampshire, has
recently confirmed that following changes in the markets which
process Hampshire’s aluminium, empty aerosols can now be sorted for
recycling along with food tins and drink cans.
Most empty aerosol cans such as deodorants, hair sprays air
fresheners and furniture polish can be accepted in kerbside
recycling collections as well as in can banks.
Aerosols for products such as insecticides, oven cleaners,
paints and automotive sprays – often marked with a skull and cross
bones or a black cross on an orange background – are
not accepted in your kerbside recycling collection and
should be placed in normal household waste bins for disposal.
Aerosols for recycling must be
empty with the loose plastic lid
removed and should not be pierced or
squashed.
