Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemicals. If not handled properly, 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 skin, lungs, and eyes
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if dropped or damaged

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