Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain pressurised and may contain chemicals that could harm people or the environment if not disposed of properly.

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

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections in Solihull under strict safety protocols, ensuring full compliance with the UK hazardous waste standards.
