Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemicals. If not disposed of properly, they can present 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 dropped or damaged

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