Maybe even more than looks, smelling good matters the most when it comes to attracting or catching someone’s attention. Before you even think about masking your natural smell with the most expensive and famous brands of perfume, you first have to think about using a deodorant to remove any stinky smell. This, of course, can effectively boost one’s confidence and remove any problem when it comes to hygiene.

However, another problem arises when using deodorant cans/bottles/tubes (any types of container, in general): what do you do with the container once you empty it? Can you recycle deodorant containers? In other words, how do you recycle different types of deodorant containers?

Now, on to determining whether you can recycle deodorant containers or not!

Recycle deodorant containers depending on its type

There are different kinds of deodorant containers. Let us talk about each type below.

Deodorant tubes

Can you recycle the deodorant tubes you have?

Yes, you can. However, you can recycle only parts of them in some cases. Quite frankly, you may have a hard time recycling them depending on your area.

Do you have any idea why it is quite difficult to recycle deodorant tubes? The answer to that is because it can be hard to determine what kind of plastic the deodorant tube you have is made of. As a result, you cannot tell right away if you can indeed recycle your deodorant tube containers.

If you have lots of deodorant tube brands at your home, they can be made from the following plastic types: high-density polyethylene (HDPE or #2 plastic), low-density polyethylene (LDPE or #4 plastic), or polypropylene (PP or plastic #5). Having different types of plastic materials from different brands of deodorant tubes can complicate the recycling process. What can complicate this even further is the fact that one deodorant tube brand may also contain different types of plastic within itself, making the material mixed. Finally, here comes the icing on the cake: some deodorant tube brands do not have a resin identification code, which makes it difficult to determine if you can recycle them or not.

With that said, there are still some areas that really accept deodorant tubes for recycling. Usually, the residents just have to follow these simple instructions: make sure to empty and remove the lid before placing it in a loose way in the recycling bin.

What about aerosol deodorant cans? Can you recycle one of these types of deodorant containers?

Some people prefer using the contactless aerosol deodorant cans to achieve a more pleasing smell and remove any unwanted odours. The question, is can you also recycle one of these types of deodorant containers aka deodorant cans?

As these are usually made of aluminium or steel – metal, in other words, the answer is yes! You can indeed recycle aerosol deodorant cans. You can also recycle similar metal products such as the following (read our blog on recycling facts Australia to learn more):

• Aerosol cans (including deodorant)
• Aluminium foil baking trays
