Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemicals. If not handled correctly, they can create risks for people and the environment.

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

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