Put it in the blue recycling cart

Empty aerosol cans can go in the blue cart. Full or partly full cans need hazardous-waste disposal.

What to do

  1. Use the can completely and make sure it is empty.
  2. Put an empty can loose in the blue cart.
  3. Take a can that still contains product to MMSD Home HazMat.

Keep in mind

Propane and other compressed-gas cylinders do not belong in either cart.
