Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are pressurised and contain chemicals that can cause harm to people and the environment. Businesses in Huddersfield must use a licensed waste carrier for safe disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when discharged
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders can be dangerous if damaged or crushed

Partnering with Yes Waste guarantees compliance with legislation and ensures your extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
