Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are pressurised containers and often contain chemicals or gases, which is why they are legally classified as hazardous waste. If disposed of incorrectly, they can present dangers to both people and the environment.

Potential risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers releasing freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers producing dust that irritates lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders rupturing or exploding if damaged

Our Newton Abbot fire extinguisher disposal service follows strict safety procedures and UK hazardous waste rules, with full paperwork supplied for every collection.
