Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemicals. Without correct 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 Melton Mowbray with strict safety measures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
