Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and can often contain chemical agents. Without correct disposal, they can cause safety hazards to humans and animals, as well as environmental harm.

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

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections in Sleaford under strict safety controls, ensuring full compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
