Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are considered hazardous waste because they are pressurised and may contain chemicals that can harm people or the environment. They must always be collected and recycled by a licensed waste contractor to meet the UK compliance standards.

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

Yes Waste ensures all of the fire extinguisher collections in Stamford meet the highest safety and environmental standards and provide the full documentation for your records.
