Residents across Brighton & Hove will be able to recycle household aerosol cans from Monday 2 August. Brighton & Hove City Council is introducing household aerosol recycling as part of ongoing work to cut waste and increase recycling in the city.
Aluminium and steel used in aerosol containers can be recycled for a range of different uses, including new cans, car parts, washing machines and even window frames.
Aerosols must be empty before they are put out for recycling. They should not be pierced or crushed and the lid should be removed first.
