Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemical substances. If not managed correctly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Ashington are handled safely and according to national regulations.
