Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of correctly, they can pose risks to people and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste carries out extinguisher collections in Morecambe under strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste rules.
