Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

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

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

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