  • Water fire extinguishers

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemical compounds. Improper handling or disposal can cause safety hazards and environmental damage.

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

Yes Waste carries out extinguisher collections in Selby using strict safety controls, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
