Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

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

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