Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemical agents. Incorrect disposal can create risks for both people and the environment.

Examples of risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture violently if damaged or dropped

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Dunfermline are managed safely and in full compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
