Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are pressurised and contain chemicals that may cause harm to people and the environment. Companies in Bristol are required to use a licensed waste carrier for proper 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 can be dangerous if crushed or damaged

Using Yes Waste ensures compliance with UK law and guarantees extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
