Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they are kept under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

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

Yes Waste ensures every extinguisher collected in Bury is handled safely and in full compliance with UK regulations.
