Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they can cause risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Corby are handled safely and in line with UK regulations.
