  • Water fire extinguishers
  • Foam fire extinguishers
  • CO2 fire extinguishers

As extinguishers are pressurised and often contain chemicals, UK law requires a licensed waste contractor to handle their disposal. Yes Waste provides a compliant collection and recycling service across Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan.

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemical agents. If not disposed of correctly, they can present risks 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 violently if dropped or damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Barry are managed safely and in line with national regulations.
