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

Why Fire Extinguishers Count As Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers must be treated as hazardous waste because they are under pressure and often filled with chemicals. If they are thrown away incorrectly, they can be dangerous to both people and the environment.

Potential hazards include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers releasing freezing gas that burns skin
✔️ Dry powder causing irritation to eyes, skin, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders rupturing violently if crushed or dropped

Yes Waste ensures that extinguishers collected in Brighton are handled safely and disposed of in line with UK environmental legislation.
