Have you ever seen the Caterpillar D-11 bulldozers they use to mix and bury the trash at landfills? I think they are more than capable of crushing his can of air.

I wonder if anyone really answers questions on OT anymore, or if everyone just needs an excuse to demonstrate their total lack of humor.

Edit: By the way, unless the can contains CFCs (and it should be labeled as such if it does), you can just toss them in the trash.

doesn't it say to melt down in microwave first?

 

[FoBoT]

you have 2 options

1- shoot it with a gun
2- stick it in your butt and go scuba diving

I dump it in the recycle bin. I use at least a can a week.

Be a good citizen.

Throw it in your neighbor's trash. 😉

Dispose of things? Just pile on your desk like I do.

how about just use up the remainder of the bottle?

is there a MSDS (material safety data sheet) that addresses compressed air? if so, follow their recommended instructions. if not, google it. if you can't find anything helpful from those responses, follow one of the above recommendations.
