Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If they are not disposed of properly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder can irritate skin, eyes, and the respiratory system
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if dropped or damaged

Yes Waste ensures every extinguisher collected in Camborne and Redruth is handled safely and in line with UK regulations.
