Due to the range of different types of fire extinguishers found across domestic, commercial, and construction premises and each containing different materials and substances to battle all kinds of fires - we guarantee a comprehensive and cost-effective fire extinguisher disposal service that holds you and the environment at heart in delivering a professional recycling service that reclaims as much raw material as possible from your fire extinguisher waste and puts it back into circulation.

Fire extinguishers are pressurised metal containers which require care and trained personnel to dispose of them correctly, and it is best to entrust your unwanted fire extinguisher waste to a qualified professional partner at Wayst to ensure that all of the risks involved in the extinguisher disposal process are mitigated completely. CO2 fire extinguishers in particular can be very dangerous even in just the discharging process - which is one of the first things to happen to your old fire extinguisher before it is broken down into scrap metal and plastic for recycling - if they are not fitted with a frost-free horn. If the discharge handle on a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is operated without a horn fitted, there will be a powerful recoil that is strong enough to break bones.

While water and CO2 extinguishers can be discharged relatively safely in a way that leaves next to no substances and potential contaminants in the recycling process behind, powder and foam extinguishers will be discharged more carefully due to the toxic chemicals present in them. Following the completion of your fire extinguisher disposal service, our chosen partners will provide you with complete Waste Transfer Notes or Consignment Notes if there is hazardous waste from a commercial premises to give you the peace of mind in knowing your fire extinguishers are disposed of correctly in ways that benefit the environment and your local community.
