Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemical contents. 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 eyes, lungs, and skin
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if dropped or crushed

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Basildon are managed safely and in line with UK waste regulations.
