Question

how  is よ うとして used?
reading an article and in it
ボンベやスプレーの缶などを捨てようとして、穴をあけたこと。。。。

捨てようとして what would be best translation for it?

Answer

I think the best translation is 'in order to....'.
So you could say 'to drill a hole in tanks and spray cans in order to throw away.'

Answer

in this case the 捨てよう and として are two separate parts.
So, my guess is "...to be about to throw away to..."
