What Fire Extinguishers Do We Collect In Amersham?

  • Water fire extinguishers
  • Foam fire extinguishers
  • CO2 fire extinguishers

  • Specialist extinguishers (case by case)

Because extinguishers are pressurised and chemical-filled, UK law requires they are disposed of through a licensed waste carrier. Yes Waste offers a fully compliant collection and recycling service across Amersham and Buckinghamshire.

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemical agents. Incorrect disposal can put people and the environment at risk.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas which can cause burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers can irritate the lungs, skin, and eyes
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if dropped or crushed

Yes Waste ensures every extinguisher collected in Amersham is handled safely and according to UK waste regulations.
