[To Business Operators] (Alert) How to treat spray cans

　Recently, an explosion and fire accident occurred due to flammable gas released in connection with the treatment of waste aerosol products such as spray cans.
　The Waste Management Law stipulates that a business operator concludes a contract with a collection / transportation company or a disposal company for each type, and handles and disposes of industrial waste responsibly.
　Regarding the treatment of waste aerosol products such as spray cans, the Aerosol Product Treatment Countermeasures Council, which consists of 10 related organizations such as the Japan Aerosol Association, has issued a notice to prevent the occurrence of accidents. Please refer to the "Guidelines for Safety Disposal of Aerosol Products".
