Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

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

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

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