Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they’re stored under pressure and can often contain chemical agents. If these chemicals are disposed of incorrectly, they can create health and environmental hazards.

Examples of potential hazards include:
✔️ CO2 extinguishers can release freezing gas that may cause burns
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers may irritate the eyes, lungs, and your skin
✔️ Cylinders can rupture or explode if they are punctured or damaged

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Sidmouth with strict safety procedures, ensuring compliance with the UK hazardous waste standards.
