Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and often contain chemical contents. If not disposed of properly, they can pose safety hazards and environmental risks.

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 can rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste carries out fire extinguisher collections in Moortown with strict safety protocols, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste rules.
