Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and often contain chemicals. If not disposed of properly, they can present risks to people, property, and the environment.

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

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