Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not managed properly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas, leading to cold burns
✔️ Dry powder can irritate skin, lungs, and eyes
✔️ Cylinders may explode if damaged or dropped

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Buxton are managed safely and in compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
