Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not managed properly, they can cause harm to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Babbington are handled safely and in line with national regulations.
