Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and may contain chemicals. Without proper disposal, they can pose risks to both people and the environment.

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

Yes Waste carries out fire extinguisher collections in Newbury under strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
