How Our Fire Extinguisher Disposal Service Works

Once your fire extinguisher collection service has been booked, we’ll update our driver’s schedules so they know when to arrive on site. We make sure to take everything to a licensed waste transfer station, where hazardous materials are safely extracted, allowing for any remaining recyclables to be reused in new products.

Our fire extinguisher clearance service covers the removal of:

✔️ Water-based fire extinguishers
✔️ Foam-based fire extinguishers
✔️ CO2 fire extinguishers
✔️ Dry powder fire extinguishers
✔️ Wet chemical fire extinguishers
✔️ Special units (subject to approval)

Our facilities team needed a reliable partner to clear out a large batch of expired extinguishers. Yes Waste handled every stage with care. The operatives kept us informed throughout the process. We now rely on Yes Waste for all ongoing extinguisher disposal work.

We booked a bulk extinguisher clearance as part of our annual safety review. Yes Waste delivered exactly what we required. The paperwork arrived on time and supported our compliance checks. We plan to continue using Yes Waste for future phases of equipment renewal.

Our warehouse needed old extinguishers removed before a refurbishment. Yes Waste made the process efficient from start to finish. Their documentation helped us evidence the disposal across multiple sites. We value the service provided and will book them again during our next upgrade cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions For Our Fire Extinguisher Disposal Service

Our fire extinguisher disposal and recycling service is available nationwide. We collect from offices, warehouses, retail stores, schools, healthcare sites, and many other premises across the UK.

Please note: collections further from our base in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, may be subject to higher minimum charges, which are often more suitable for businesses with larger quantities of extinguishers to be collected.

Most fire extinguisher collections can be booked within 24–48 hours. We’ll agree on a time slot that suits you and provide updates when our team is on the way.

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they contain pressurised contents and chemicals that can be harmful if not handled correctly. That’s why a licensed waste carrier, such as ourselves, must carry out the disposal.

We manage every stage of your fire extinguisher disposal service in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act and Hazardous Waste Regulations. Once they’ve been collected, your extinguishers will be taken to an approved facility for processing. You receive all compliance paperwork after the clearance.

At the end of your fire extinguisher collection service, we’ll a Waste Transfer Note and any other documents required for compliance. These confirm your extinguishers were handled and processed under UK waste legislation. You can keep these records for audits and internal reporting.

We operate under waste carrier registration CBDU117809, which authorises us to transport and manage fire extinguisher collections nationwide. You can verify the registration using the link below.
