Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemical agents. Without correct disposal, they can create risks to people and the environment.

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

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections across Kilmarnock with strict safety measures, ensuring all disposals meet UK hazardous waste regulations.
