Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they are stored under pressure and may contain chemical compounds. Without proper disposal, these chemicals can pose risks to human health, property, and the environment.

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

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Sittingbourne under strict safety procedures, ensuring full compliance with UK hazardous waste legislation.
