Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemical substances. If not disposed of correctly, they may present risks to people and the environment.

Risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture violently if mishandled or dropped

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Farnborough are handled safely and disposed of in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
