Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are pressurised containers that can be dangerous if not handled correctly. They also contain chemicals that can be harmful to health and the environment. Businesses in Halifax must use a licensed waste carrier for safe disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when discharged
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders can be highly dangerous if crushed or damaged

Using Yes Waste ensures compliance with UK legislation and guarantees your extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
