Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are treated as hazardous waste because they remain under pressure and can contain chemicals that may be harmful to people or the environment. They must always be collected and processed by a licensed waste contractor.

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

Yes Waste carries out fire extinguisher collections in Stevenage and follows strict safety and environmental regulations, ensuring full compliance with UK waste legislation.
