Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and can contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they pose risks to both people and the environment.

Risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders can rupture violently if mishandled

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Fleetwood are managed safely and disposed of in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
