Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, 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 eyes, lungs, and skin
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if dropped or crushed

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