Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and may contain chemicals. Without proper handling, they can pose safety risks to people and the environment.

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

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections in Shrewsbury and follow strict safety controls to ensure compliance with the UK hazardous waste regulations.
