Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemical agents. If not managed correctly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas which can cause burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if dropped or damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Darwen are handled safely and in accordance with UK regulations.
