Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemical contents. If not handled properly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

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

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