Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste as they are pressurised and contain chemicals that could be harmful to both people and the environment. Companies in Sheffield are required to use a licensed waste carrier for correct disposal and recycling.

Examples of risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers can cause cold burns when released
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, skin and lungs
✔️ Pressurised cylinders are dangerous if damaged or crushed

Choosing Yes Waste ensures compliance with UK legislation and guarantees extinguishers are recycled responsibly.
