Fire Protection Recycling: What It Is And Why It’s Beneficial

Wondering how to get rid of fire extinguishers and other fire protection equipment? If you need to get rid of any kind of fire protection equipment, it is your prime responsibility to ensure that it is disposed of in the right way. Putting a fire extinguisher in a bin is a big NO. The equipment may explode when it is crashed. Though there are no legal requirements as to how you should dispose of the item, making sure it’s properly discarded will go a long way in safeguarding our environment and preventing serious harm.

Why Proper Disposal Is Key

Fire extinguishers are designed from a pressurized container. This container has a high potential of exploding if not properly disposed. The contents can be harmful or even deadly when left lying around in the bin. It doesn’t matter whether the extinguisher has been used, is vandalized or ineffective, it must not be left lying around in the local waste.
