Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and may contain chemical agents. Incorrect disposal can create risks for people, property, and the environment.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can discharge freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin, or lungs
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Scunthorpe with strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations and environmental standards.
