Why Fire Extinguishers Are Hazardous Waste

Fire extinguishers are hazardous waste because they are under pressure and often contain chemical agents. If not disposed of properly, they can cause harm to people or the environment.

Common risks include:

✔️ CO2 extinguishers release freezing gas that can burn skin
✔️ Dry powder extinguishers can irritate the lungs, skin, and eyes
✔️ Cylinders may rupture or explode if damaged

Yes Waste ensures all extinguishers collected in Worcester are managed safely and in full compliance with UK regulations.
