Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste since they are pressurised and contain chemicals that could cause harm to both people and the environment. Companies in Sunderland must use a licensed waste carrier for proper disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when discharged
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders are dangerous if damaged or crushed

Choosing Yes Waste ensures compliance with UK legislation and guarantees extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
