From the last decade we have encountered some of the most serious environmental issues that need to be considered and taken care as these hazards are mounting continuously. There are many factors which share their role in damaging the biological circle of the planet and some of these are non biodegradable waste material dumps, chemical and toxic fluids drained in the rivers, polluting air with poisonous gases etc.
Dumping of waste and useless material was used to be general practice of the customers but now recycling is becoming more popular and most of the organizations have started supporting this system for noble cause. Recycling is a process in which waste materials like plastic bags, aerosol cans and other non- biodegradable stuff is recreated to form new items. Aerosol can disposal comes under one of these recycling techniques which are very effective and serving many other industries too. During the disposal of aerosol cans, one should take care that these cans are not disposed near any flammable item or in high temperature. As these cans contains pressurized gas which can cause explosion in the contact of sunlight.
You might have seen in past that many companies have paid heavy fines for improper handling of hazardous waste. They used to dump all the waste in the open environment away from the city, but it is not safe and you are well aware of this fact. It is against the RCRA regulations to dispose aerosol cans in the trash as they still contain pressurized gas even in the used ones.
There are many organizations which are handling this situation very well and help the industries which deal in aerosol cans, by providing them an easy and safe way to get rid of used aerosol cans. Other than this these firms provide other services too, like athletic field maintenance, pavement and floor marking, providing industrial stencils, traffic and field marking paint, crushing and compacting. Many of these firms deal with crushing and disposing the waste dump with the use of their latest techniques and equipments that are specially designed for the same work. Disposing the used aerosol is one of the tasks that need special vigilance and technique. But the tool which is used in aerosol can disposal is user friendly and safe that it can be used by anyone.
They employ a system named Aerosol can disposal system in which used aerosol cans are punctured which results in relieving pressure from the can. Then VOCs are filtered and the residual liquids are collected, if left any. You can judge its usefulness as with the recycling of 4 aerosol cans, the firm saves over 5697kj of energy and there are thousands of used aerosol cans out there. Moreover, it reduces the extra cost which is to be used in hazardous waste disposal by recycling millions of pounds of steel each year. The cost for dumping 4,200 used aerosol cans as solid waste can be as much as $52,500 and to recycle millions of these waste steel chunks can be real money-saver.
