Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemical contents. If not managed correctly, 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 lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders may rupture violently if dropped or mishandled

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