Aerosolv® Aerosol can Recycling System Justrite Spill Containment

Safely Puncture, Drain & Recycle Spent Aerosol Cans — EPA Compliant

The Justrite Aerosolv® Aerosol Can Recycling System is the industry-leading solution for safely disposing of used aerosol cans while reducing hazardous waste disposal costs. By puncturing and draining spent cans into a standard collection drum, the Aerosolv® system converts solid hazardous waste into recyclable scrap metal — fully compliant with EPA 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6).

Whether you're managing aerosol waste in a manufacturing plant, automotive shop, military depot, or maintenance facility, Aerosolv® delivers a safe, economical, and environmentally responsible way to handle one of industry's most common waste streams.

Why Choose the Justrite Aerosolv® System?

Turn Hazardous Waste into Recyclable Metal

Spent aerosol cans are typically classified as hazardous waste due to their pressurized contents and residual chemicals — leading to costly disposal fees. With the Aerosolv® system, punctured and discharged cans no longer meet the EPA definition of hazardous waste under 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6), allowing them to be processed as recyclable scrap metal. The result: dramatically lower waste disposal costs and a smaller environmental footprint.

High-Capacity Performance

The Aerosolv® unit threads directly into a standard 2-inch (51 mm) bung on a 30-gallon (110 L) or 55-gallon (200 L) drum. A single 55-gallon drum holds approximately 4,200 spent aerosol cans — making this one of the most space-efficient and cost-effective aerosol disposal solutions available.

Built for Safety and Durability

The Aerosolv® system features a rugged aluminum body with all moving parts crafted from 308 stainless steel for long service life. A non-sparking puncture pin safely pierces each can, allowing residual liquids to drain into the collection drum. The system includes an anti-static ground wire with alligator clip to safely dissipate static electricity during operation.

Advanced Two-Part Filtration

The included combination filter attaches to the 3/4-inch (19 mm) bung and provides comprehensive VOC and propellant management:

• Bottom Coalescing Cartridge — Transforms residual liquid vapors into droplets that collect and safely drain back into the drum
• Top Activated Carbon Cartridge — Filters VOCs from propellant gases and changes color to indicate saturation, providing a clear visual replacement reminder

An economical non-color-changing filter option is also available for facilities seeking lower replacement costs.
