What Fire Extinguishers Do We Collect In Dundee?

We collect the main extinguisher types used across Dundee’s schools, shops, offices, and industrial units:

  • Water fire extinguishers
  • Foam fire extinguishers
  • CO2 fire extinguishers
  • Dry powder extinguishers
  • Specialist extinguishers (case by case)

Because extinguishers are pressurised and often contain chemicals, they must be collected and recycled by a licensed contractor. Yes Waste provides a compliant disposal service throughout Dundee and the wider Angus region.

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are pressurised and can contain chemical agents. If disposed of incorrectly, they pose risks to people and the environment.

Examples of risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may cause irritation to the lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if mishandled

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Dundee are managed safely and disposed of according to UK hazardous waste legislation.
