Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate eyes, skin, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if mishandled

Yes Waste provides fire extinguisher disposal in Market Harborough using strict safety measures, ensuring all disposals comply with UK hazardous waste legislation.
