Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and contain chemicals that can cause harm to people and the environment. Businesses in Barnsley must use a licensed waste carrier for safe disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when discharged
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders are highly dangerous if damaged or crushed

Working with Yes Waste guarantees compliance with UK regulations and ensures extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
