Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can cause risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Altrincham are managed safely and in line with UK regulations.
