Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are under pressure and may contain gases or agents that can harm people or the environment if mishandled. Working with a licensed waste management company ensures they are dealt with safely, in line with environmental legislation and best practice.

Typical hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers releasing freezing gas that can cause cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers producing dust that irritates eyes and lungs
✔️ Cylinders that may explode or rupture if damaged

Our fire extinguisher disposal service in Salford ensures every stage, from collection to recycling, is completed safely, lawfully, and with proper documentation supplied for your files.
