Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not handled correctly, they can present risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Basingstoke are handled safely and in line with UK regulations.
