Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are pressurised and contain chemicals that can cause harm if not handled correctly. Businesses in Coventry must use a licensed waste carrier for safe disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when discharged
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders are dangerous if damaged or crushed

Choosing Yes Waste guarantees compliance with UK law and ensures extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
