Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are pressurised and contain chemicals that can harm people and the environment. Businesses in Bradford must use a licensed waste carrier for safe disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when discharged
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders are dangerous if damaged or crushed

Choosing Yes Waste ensures compliance with UK legislation and guarantees extinguishers are recycled safely and responsibly.
