Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and may contain chemicals. If not handled properly, they can cause risks to both people and the environment.

Potential risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas that can cause burns
✔️ Dry powder may irritate lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders can rupture if dropped or damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Caerphilly are dealt with safely and disposed of in compliance with UK regulations.
