What Fire Extinguishers Do We Collect In Hull?

We collect most extinguisher types used across Hull businesses, including in warehouses, retail, offices, schools, and healthcare facilities:

  • Water fire extinguishers
  • Foam fire extinguishers
  • CO2 fire extinguishers
  • Dry powder extinguishers
  • Specialist units (by arrangement)

Because these units are under pressure and may contain harmful substances, they are classified as hazardous waste. That means UK businesses are legally required to use an authorised contractor like Yes Waste for collection and recycling.

Why Fire Extinguishers Count As Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers may look harmless when unused, but they are pressurised cylinders that need specialist handling. They can release freezing gases or fine powders that cause harm to people and damage the environment if disposed of incorrectly.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release extremely cold gas, causing burns
✔️ Dry powder can irritate the lungs and eyes
✔️ Cylinders under pressure are unsafe if damaged, dropped, or crushed

Working with Yes Waste means your extinguishers are collected safely and handled in line with environmental regulations.
