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

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

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