  • Water fire extinguishers
  • Foam fire extinguishers
  • CO2 fire extinguishers

Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they stay under pressure and may contain chemicals that could harm people or the environment if they are not handled correctly. Disposal must always follow the UK hazardous waste regulations.

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

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher disposal in Southport following strict safety procedures, and ensuring that all of the work complies with the environmental and health regulations.
