Easily Turn Aerosol Cans Into Recyclable Steel
Aerosol cans are common in many workplaces, but improper disposal can lead to serious risks. Because they are pressurised, aerosol cans can explode if damaged, and propellants like butane or propane increase the risk of fire. Many also contain toxic or corrosive ingredients that pose hazards to workers and the environment.
The Justrite® Aerosolv® Aerosol Can Recycling System is designed to safely convert empty aerosol cans into recyclable steel, helping you manage these risks responsibly and efficiently.
How the Aerosolv System Works
The system mounts easily onto a standard 55-gallon drum. It safely punctures each aerosol can, allowing residual liquids to drain while relieving internal pressure and capturing harmful VOCs through a carbon filter. Once punctured and depressurised, the cans are classified as "empty" and can be safely recycled. The collected liquids remain in the drum and can be disposed of as hazardous waste according to regulations.
