Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemicals. If not managed correctly, they can create risks to both people and the environment.

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

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