Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemical agents. Without proper disposal, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Barnet are handled safely and in accordance with UK waste regulations.
