Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and often contain chemicals. Without safe disposal, they may pose risks to both people 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 lungs
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Merton with strict safety standards, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste legislation.
