Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Because they are pressurised and often filled with chemicals or gases, fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste. If not handled correctly, they can present risks to both people and the environment.

Potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers discharging freezing gas that causes cold burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers creating dust that irritates lungs, eyes, and skin
✔️ Cylinders rupturing or exploding when damaged

Our Newton Aycliffe fire extinguisher disposal service follows strict safety processes and UK hazardous waste rules, with paperwork provided for every collection.
