Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

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

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

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