Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are pressurised and contain potentially harmful substances. Incorrect handling or disposal can lead to safety risks and environmental damage.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that causes burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and lungs
✔️ Cylinders can rupture or explode if mishandled

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Seaham following strict safety standards, ensuring compliance with UK hazardous waste regulations.
