Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures every extinguisher collected in Burton-upon-Trent is managed safely and in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
