Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they’re pressurised and often contain gases or chemicals. If not handled correctly, they can cause harm to people or the environment. That’s why only licensed contractors should manage their collection and recycling.

Potential risks include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers releasing freezing gas that can burn skin
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers spreading irritant dust
✔️ Cylinders that can burst or explode under pressure

Our Penzance fire extinguisher disposal process meets UK hazardous waste regulations, giving you complete confidence in safe handling from start to finish.
