What Fire Extinguishers Do We Collect In Blackpool?

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

Because extinguishers are pressurised and often chemical-filled, UK law requires they are collected by a licensed waste contractor. Yes Waste provides a fully compliant collection and recycling service throughout Blackpool and the Fylde Coast.

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not managed correctly, they can cause risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas which can cause 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 Blackpool are handled safely and in line with UK regulations.
