Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemicals. If not handled correctly, they can cause harm to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

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