Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they stay pressurised and often contain chemical contents. If not disposed of correctly, they can cause 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 can rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections across Kings Lynn with strict safety measures, ensuring all disposals follow UK hazardous waste legislation.
