Fire Extinguisher Disposal
Nationwide Fire Extinguisher Disposal
Fire extinguishers must be separated from your general waste streams and disposed of using specialist routes as they are considered hazardous waste. By partnering with dedicated transport and recycling facilities, we ensure that your fire extinguishers are disposed of in the most environmentally friendly way.
Sixtowns Waste is proud to offer a nationwide fire extinguisher disposal service. Our supply chain partners’ fleet of modern vehicles can collect and transport any fire extinguishers you have safely to one of our specialist recycling sites.
Environmentally Friendly Disposal
As with all the waste we handle, we prioritise environmentally friendly disposal of all fire extinguishers that we collect.
Our experienced teams are suitably trained and qualified, and adhere to the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005 at all times.
To minimize landfill waste, we only work with specialist recycling centers to process your waste fire extinguishers.
Component Separation
To maximise the amount of recyclable materials from your waste fire extinguishers, Sixtowns Waste separates the individual components down to:
Brass valves
Steel internal pipes
External rubber hoses
Metal cylinders
These components can then be either reused or recycled, maximising the sustainability of the process and complying with the waste management hierarchy.
Halon Fire Extinguishers
Halon fire extinguishers pose a difficult challenge when it comes to disposal. Filled with harmful and illegal gasses, safe depressurization is a key part of the disposal process.
Our experienced technicians are suitably trained and qualified to depressurize your halon fire extinguishers, allowing us to help you safely dispose of your most challenging fire extinguishers.
