Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and may contain chemicals. If not handled properly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

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

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