Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemicals. If not handled correctly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

Common risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release 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 Grantham are managed safely and disposed of in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
