Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and often contain gases or chemicals. If they’re not handled correctly, they can pose serious safety risks or cause environmental damage. That’s why they must only be disposed of by a licensed contractor.

Potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers releasing freezing gas that can burn skin
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers releasing fine dust that irritates airways
✔️ Cylinders that can rupture or explode if damaged

Our Peterborough fire extinguisher disposal service follows strict UK hazardous waste procedures to keep your premises and staff safe while meeting environmental standards.
