Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of properly, they can create risks to both health and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder units may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders may explode if damaged or dropped

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher disposal across Kensington with strict safety protocols, ensuring all collections comply with hazardous waste regulations in the UK.
