Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without correct disposal, they can pose risks to both health and the environment.

Risks include:

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

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