Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of properly, they can create risks to both people and the environment.

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

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