Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are categorised as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and often contain chemical substances. Without proper disposal, they can pose risks to 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 explode if mishandled or damaged

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Matlock with strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
