Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can cause 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 may rupture or explode if mishandled

Yes Waste provides fire extinguisher disposal in Lowestoft with strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste standards.
