Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they contain gases or chemicals and are stored under pressure. Without safe disposal, they can pose risks to people and the environment. That’s why they must be collected and processed by a licensed contractor.

Examples of hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers discharging freezing gas that can cause burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers releasing irritant dust
✔️ Cylinders that may rupture or explode if damaged

Our Plymouth fire extinguisher disposal service follows UK hazardous waste regulations, keeping your business compliant and your site safe.
