Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemical agents. If not disposed of correctly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture violently if damaged or dropped

Yes Waste ensures all fire extinguishers collected in Dudley are dealt with safely and in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
