Frequently Asked Questions
How should aerosol cans be stored safely?
Aerosol cans should be stored in a well-ventilated area away from heat sources, ignition points, and direct sunlight. Using a dedicated aerosol storage cage helps protect against damage, reduces fire risk, and ensures safe, organised storage on-site.
What is an aerosol can recycling system?
An aerosol recycling system is designed to safely puncture and drain used aerosol cans, allowing any remaining contents to be collected and the empty can to be recycled as scrap metal. This helps reduce waste and manage hazardous residues safely.
How do aerosol recycling systems work?
These systems typically use a controlled puncturing mechanism to release residual pressure and contents from the can in a safe, contained manner. Liquids are captured in a collection vessel while gases are filtered, allowing the depressurised can to be disposed of or recycled appropriately.
Can aerosol cans be disposed of in general waste?
Full or partially full aerosol cans should not be disposed of in general waste due to the risk of pressure build-up and potential hazards. Empty and fully depressurised cans may be recyclable, but disposal requirements depend on local regulations and the contents of the can.
Are there fire risks with aerosol storage?
Yes — many aerosols contain flammable propellants, making them a potential fire risk if exposed to heat, sparks, or open flames. Proper storage in ventilated, secure cages away from ignition sources is essential to minimise this risk.
Do aerosol cages need to be ventilated?
Yes — ventilation is important to prevent the build-up of flammable vapours. Most aerosol cages are designed with mesh or perforated panels to allow airflow while still providing security and protection.
What regulations apply to aerosol storage in Australia?
Aerosol storage in Australia is governed by workplace safety and dangerous goods regulations, which require safe handling, storage, and risk management of hazardous substances. Requirements can vary depending on the quantity and type of aerosols stored, so it’s important to assess your site and follow relevant guidelines.
