Nationwide Aerosol Disposal

If you’re looking for a reliable and cost-effective aerosol disposal service then look no further! Sixtowns Waste can collect, transport, dispose, and recycle a wide range of aerosols throughout the UK.

Our experienced and professional team is on hand to tackle your aerosol disposal needs. From industrial through to medical devices we and our business partners prioritise recycling over landfill for all aerosols and pressurised containers, helping you save costs and hit your sustainability goals.

Most aerosols are considered hazardous waste, our disposal processes are designed to handle them in the most environmentally friendly manner. Our supply chain partners separate your aerosols into their base components to allow for the effective recycling of each material.

Aerosol Disposal and Recycling

Our end-to-end service includes collection, transportation, disposal, and recycling. All cans are crushed and compacted to allow us to separate the components of your waste aerosols. The propellant from your aerosol is collected and reused in other aerosols or as fuel, any liquids are recovered and recycled where possible. The aerosol cans themselves are compressed further and are reintroduced into the supply chain as scrap metal.

We partner with specialist recycling centers to ensure that as much material as possible from your waste aerosols are recycled.
