Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemical substances. If not disposed of correctly, 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 extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders may explode if mishandled or damaged

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections across Kirkby with strict safety procedures, ensuring all disposals meet UK hazardous waste legislation.
