Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without correct disposal, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Barking & Dagenham are disposed of safely and in accordance with UK regulations.
