Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they stay pressurised and often contain chemicals. Without safe disposal, they can cause harm 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 eyes, skin, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture or explode if mishandled

Yes Waste carries out extinguisher disposal in Lewes with strict safety controls, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
