Aerosols...

Aerosols ImageGrundon Waste Management Limited is able to offer the destruction and disposal of aerosols, with total recovery and recycling of their components. Our "Hazpak" system, located at the Ewelme Transfer Station in Oxfordshire, crushes and compacts the aerosol cans enabling the separation of the respective products.

  • The propellants are captured, compressed and are used as a support fuel.
  • The liquid products are collected and then be recycled, blended as a fuel, treated or incinerated.
  • The aerosol cans are compacted into scrap metal briquettes. These can be segregated into metal types e.g. aluminium and steel, and are recycled.

The "Hazpak" system offers the Best Available Technology (BAT) for the disposal of waste aerosols.

Grundon offer a total waste management package. This includes:

  • The provision of waste storage containers
  • The collection and transportation of the waste aerosols
  • The safe disposal of aerosols, with a range of recycling, recovery and disposal options
