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 handling, they can present risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas, causing cold burns
✔️ Dry powder can irritate eyes, lungs, and skin
✔️ Cylinders may rupture if dropped or exposed to damage

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Burgess Hill are handled safely and disposed of in full compliance with UK legislation.
