How Our Fire Extinguisher Disposal Service Works

When your fire extinguisher collection service is confirmed, we’ll assign the job to a driver, making sure their schedule is updated in full. Your fire extinguishers are taken to a licensed waste transfer station for full processing. We’ll safely extract any hazardous elements from the extinguishers, recycling as much as we can.

Our fire extinguisher clearance service includes the removal of:

✔️ Water-based fire extinguishers
✔️ Foam-based fire extinguishers
✔️ CO2 fire extinguishers
✔️ Dry powder fire extinguishers
✔️ Wet chemical fire extinguishers
✔️ Specialist units (subject to approval)

Yes Waste supported our facility during a large-scale extinguisher renewal project and carried out the clearance with excellent organisation. The team worked smoothly throughout and provided full documentation straight after disposal.

Fire extinguishers are categorised as hazardous waste due to the chemicals and pressurised cylinders they contain. All fire extinguisher disposal services must therefore be carried out under regulated conditions by a licensed waste carrier to remain fully compliant.

All of the fire extinguishers we collect will be transported to a licensed treatment facility. We’ll extract and dispose of all hazardous elements found in these extinguishers, recycling as much as possible.

Every fire extinguisher collection includes a Waste Transfer Note and any required consignment documentation. These records confirm that a lawful disposal was carried out, and they should be stored for audit or compliance purposes.

We hold a waste carriers registration (CBDU117809), authorising us to collect and transport hazardous waste loads, including fire extinguishers. You can verify our licence here:
