Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemicals. If not handled properly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

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

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