Standard trash removal and recycling is contracted on an individual basis with the various private trash/recycling companies in the region.
Aerosol Cans
Use up according to label instructions, give to someone who can use it, or take to a hazardous material collection program. For small amounts: In a well-ventilated area, while standing upwind, discharge all contents of the aerosol can into a cardboard box. Allow the box to dry completely. Discard the box and empty the aerosol can into the household trash.
