Fire extinguishers

Description

Both empty and unused/expired fire extinguishers can be taken to your local Household Recycling Centre and put into the cage with the gas bottles as they may still contain pressurised gas.

 

Please do not put them in your black/grey or green bins as they can explode in collection vehicles, the recycling facility or Energy Recovery Facility.
