Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classified as hazardous waste because they contain pressurised contents and in some cases, chemical agents. Incorrect disposal of these substances could pose risks to people, property, or the environment.

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

Yes Waste manages extinguisher collections in Southwark with full adherence to UK hazardous waste legislation and Environment Agency standards.
