Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemical compounds. If handled incorrectly, they can pose serious risks to people and the environment.

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

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Sevenoaks with strict safety procedures, ensuring full compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
