Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not handled correctly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

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 Holyhead are handled safely and disposed of in line with UK hazardous waste regulations.
