Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

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

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

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Newport with strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste rules.
