What Fire Extinguishers Do We Collect In Middlesbrough?

Our team collects every common extinguisher type used in Middlesbrough’s offices, schools, factories, shops, and public buildings:

  • Water fire extinguishers
  • Foam fire extinguishers
  • CO2 fire extinguishers
  • Dry powder extinguishers
  • Specialist and less common extinguishers on request

Because extinguishers remain pressurised and contain chemicals, they should never be handled as general waste. Yes Waste offers safe, compliant, and fully certified disposal across Middlesbrough and the wider Teesside area.

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste as they stay pressurised and can contain chemicals. Without correct disposal, they can present dangers 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 they are damaged

Yes Waste handles extinguisher collections in Middlesbrough with strict safety procedures that ensures compliance with the UK hazardous waste legislation.
