Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and may contain chemicals that can harm people or the environment if mishandled. That’s why they must always be collected and recycled by a licensed contractor.

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 may rupture or explode if they are damaged

Yes Waste manages fire extinguisher collections across Staines in accordance with the UK hazardous waste regulations and Environment Agency standards.
