Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often filled with chemical contents. If not disposed of properly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

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