Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

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

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas that can burn skin
✔️ 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 Bangor are handled safely and in line with UK waste regulations.
