While modern fire extinguishers are usually built to last between 3-12 years, they will eventually require removal and disposal or recycling.
Certain models of fire extinguisher are also now illegal to own or fall outside the scope of the BS5306 Code of Practice for extinguisher maintenance, also requiring removal and disposal or recycling. As a leading specialist hazardous waste disposal company, Tradebe can provide specialised fire extinguisher recycling, disposal and collection services, in a safe and compliant manner across the UK.
ABC Dry Powder Fire Extinguishers, AFFF Foam Fire Extinguishers, CO2 Fire Extinguishers, Water Fire Extinguishers, Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers and Water Mist Fire Extinguishers are pressurised containers and potentially dangerous if crushed, while also containing materials that can be a hazard to the environment. As such unwanted, obsolete or out of date fire extinguishers must be disposed of in a safe and compliant way.
At Tradebe our trained mobile chemist team and ADR qualified drivers will collect your expired, used or unwanted fire extinguishers and then recycle them at our compliant disposal facilities. Cylinders are always discharged in a controlled way and where possible all components are collected for a full recycle.
