Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they’re under pressure and may contain chemicals or gases that can be dangerous if released. Licensed disposal prevents injuries, leaks, and environmental harm.

Typical hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers that release freezing gas
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers producing fine dust that irritates lungs and eyes
✔️ Cylinders that may rupture or explode if damaged

Our Retford fire extinguisher disposal service ensures safe, compliant recycling handled by trained professionals under strict UK regulations.
