Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised containers filled with chemicals that can harm people and the environment. Businesses in Leeds must use a licensed waste carrier to ensure safe disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when released
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders can explode or become dangerous if damaged

Partnering with Yes Waste guarantees compliance with legislation and safe, responsible recycling of your fire extinguishers.

  • We collect – Our uniformed team arrives, loads your extinguishers, and issues all necessary paperwork.
  • We recycle – Your units are taken to a licensed facility where they are dismantled and recycled safely.

Absolutely. We supply Waste Transfer Notes and Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes for every collection, ensuring your business remains fully compliant with UK environmental regulations.

Once collected, fire extinguishers are dismantled at a licensed facility. Metals, plastics, and other materials are separated for recycling, with as little as possible sent to landfill.

We collect water, foam, CO2, dry powder, and wet chemical extinguishers. If you have specialist or less common types, let us know and we’ll confirm collection.

Most collections can be booked within 24–48 hours. We’ll agree a time slot that suits you and provide updates when our team is on the way.
