Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemical contents. If not managed properly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

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

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