Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and may contain chemicals. If managed incorrectly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that may cause cold burns
✔️ Dry powder can irritate the lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Pressurised cylinders can rupture if dropped or damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Brighouse are handled safely and in full compliance with UK regulations.
