Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

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

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