A disposal unit for the safe disposal of aerosol containers and the like pressurized containers for inflammable gases or toxic chemicals, in which the containers are punctured or otherwise destroyed, by for example a shredder fed from a sealed hopper, and separated from fluid initially contained therein, in an enclosure through which a stream of air passes to an exhaust outlet but which is otherwise sealed against the egress of gases at normal operating temperatures and pressures. The stream of air passing through the enclosure is made sufficient to dilute the gases released following destruction of the containers to a level below the flash point of the gas/air mixture.
