Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they contain chemicals and are kept under pressure. If not disposed of correctly, they can cause harm to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Aldershot are dealt with safely, following UK waste regulations.
