Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can cause risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

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