Specialising in Fire Extinguisher Collection, Disposal, and Recycling:

Fire extinguishers must be separated from your ordinary waste stream and disposed of by experts since they are considered hazardous waste. Our disposal and recycling service fully comply with the hazardous waste regulations of 2005. By utilising recycling routes and partnering with dedicated recycling facilities, we ensure that your fire extinguishers are handled and processed in an environmentally-friendly manner.

At AA Waste Solutions, we prioritise environmentally-friendly disposal practices. Our experts adhere to the hazardous waste regulations of 2005 to ensure proper disposal of fire extinguishers. We utilise recycling routes whenever possible to minimise landfill waste and maximise resource recovery.

To facilitate recycling, we perform component separation of fire extinguishers. This involves removing the brass valves, metal inner pipes, and outer rubber pipes from the cylinders. These components are then appropriately recycled or reused, contributing to a more sustainable waste management process.

Halon fire extinguishers contain pressurised illegal gases, making proper depressurisation an essential step in the disposal process. Our trained technicians will safely depressurise the extinguishers, ensuring they are free from any potential hazards before further processing.
