Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can create risks for both health and the environment.

Typical risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures every extinguisher collected in Canvey Island is handled safely and disposed of in compliance with UK regulations.
