Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemicals. Without correct disposal, they can cause risks to both health and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate eyes, skin, and respiratory systems
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste provides fire extinguisher disposal in Loughborough with strict safety procedures, ensuring every collection meets UK hazardous waste standards.
