I suspect this is going to be more of recycle one than a reuse one - but if I’m wrong, suggestions on both are most welcome.
Since we’re not big consumers of aerosol-driven personal hygiene/hair products, we don’t have that many of them - the ones we do have are from specific cleaning products (namely, at this time of the year, household flea sprays - two of the cats have quite bad flea reactions so we have to go a bit OTT on the extermination front to stop them from getting all bitten to shreds, even after they’ve been treated themselves).
So what can we do with the aerosol cans ones we’re done? Can they be recycled?

Have you tried lemongrass essential oil between the shoulder blades of your cats for fleas?
Works on dogs too.

This is probably dangerous and stupid, but
you can smash the can if you want. Note that if it is full or still has quite a bit of liquid in it, it can explode and injure you, which is why I call it stupid.

At our local recycling centre in Wolverhampton you can put them in with the steel and aluminium cans, as long as they’re used up.

Back when i was a kid, it was my job to separate and burn the trash in a burning barrel. I hated it, the smoke was really stinky and it took time. I had to put the unburnables in a separate container to be hauled to the city dump every few months. One day I picked up an empty hair spray can and read on it “do not incenerate”…I was in fourth grade and didn’t know what that meant so I went inside and asked….my aunt told me that it meant “don’t burn it” and I asked why and she said it would explode. So as I separated the trash I kept the deoderant and hair spray cans separate, and after everything was separated, I would throw the cans one by one into the fire. After that I looked forward to burning the trash. Between my sister and cousins big hair in the 60’s there were about 4 spray cans per week,lol.
