Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they stay pressurised and often contain chemical contents. Without proper disposal, they can pose risks to both human 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 rupture or explode if mishandled

Yes Waste provides fire extinguisher disposal in Littlehampton with strict safety controls, ensuring compliance with hazardous waste regulations.
