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

Because extinguishers are pressurised and contain chemicals, they must be disposed of by a licensed contractor. Yes Waste provides a fully compliant collection and recycling service across Bath and Somerset.

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemical contents. Without correct disposal, they can present risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas which can cause burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers can irritate the skin, lungs, and eyes
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Bath are handled safely and in line with UK legislation.
