Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemicals. If they are not disposed of properly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Berwick-upon-Tweed are managed safely and in full compliance with UK regulations.
