Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemical substances. Without correct disposal, 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 can rupture or explode if mishandled

Yes Waste provides extinguisher disposal in Limerick with strict safety measures, ensuring all collections meet hazardous waste regulations.
