Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemical agents. If disposed of incorrectly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

Typical risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate eyes, skin, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture violently if damaged or mishandled

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Felixstowe are managed safely and disposed of in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
