Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers fall under hazardous waste regulations because they remain pressurised and often contain chemical substances. If not dealt with properly, they can create risks to people and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas that can cause cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders can rupture if dropped, damaged, or mishandled

Yes Waste collects and recycles extinguishers across Ipswich using strict safety controls, ensuring all processes comply with UK hazardous waste legislation.
