Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemicals. If disposed of incorrectly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

Potential risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures every extinguisher collected in Chatham is handled safely and disposed of in line with UK regulations.
