How Our Fire Extinguisher Disposal Service Works

Once your fire extinguisher collection service has been confirmed, our team will update the driver schedules so they know exactly when to arrive on site. All of the extinguishers we collect are taken to a licensed waste transfer station, where hazardous components are removed safely, and any recoverable materials are prepared for recycling and future use.

Our fire extinguisher clearance service includes the removal of:

✔️ Water-based fire extinguishers
✔️ Foam-based fire extinguishers
✔️ CO2 fire extinguishers
✔️ Dry powder fire extinguishers
✔️ Wet chemical fire extinguishers
✔️ Special units (subject to approval)

Our warehouse needed a full clearance of expired extinguishers before a safety audit. Yes Waste arrived on schedule and managed the collection efficiently from start to finish. Their paperwork helped us demonstrate compliance across all areas of the site. We now use Yes Waste for all extinguisher disposals in Wakefield.

James, Wakefield

We were updating equipment across several departments and needed a reliable service to remove old extinguishers. Yes Waste handled the volumes with ease and kept our team informed throughout the process. The documentation provided was clear and suitable for our internal records. We will continue working with Yes Waste for future disposals.

Sarah, Sandal

Our organisation needed a large batch of extinguishers taken away during a refurbishment project. Yes Waste carried out the work with care and ensured everything was processed in line with regulations. Their team made the collection straightforward for our facilities staff. We look forward to using their service again when our next cycle of replacements begins.

Most extinguishers fall under hazardous waste regulations because of their pressurised cylinders and internal agents. They must be handled, transported and processed under controlled conditions. Yes Waste manages each stage in full compliance with UK legislation. This keeps your organisation aligned with duty-of-care requirements.

Everything we collect is taken to a licensed treatment facility that processes hazardous materials correctly. Each fire extinguisher is dismantled and handled under regulated conditions, with our team providing all the compliance documentation you need once the service is complete.

We’ll issue a Waste Transfer Note and any required consignment documentation after your fire extinguisher collection has been carried out. These records confirm your extinguishers were disposed of under all waste management regulations. They can be stored for audits and internal compliance checks.

Our waste carrier registration CBDU117809 confirms that we are legally authorised to collect and transport fluorescent tube waste. You can verify our registration here:
