I. Why should fire extinguishers not be treated as ordinary garbage?

Fire extinguish ers (dry powder, carbon dioxide, water agents, foams, etc.) are the same as pressurized gases.

• Fire Safety Engineering also warns that expired fire extinguishers have the opportunity to run out of their body and that there is a risk of explosion.
• Environmental pollution: Discarding the chemical composition of fire extinguishers would contaminate soil and water sources.
• Legal liability: Fire extinguishers are chemical waste and illegal disposal is regulated by the Waste Disposal Ordinance.
• Fire safety: Expired fire extinguishers may not be sprayed or enough to be used when there is a fire alarm. Putting an expired fire extinguisher is more dangerous than not having a fire extinguisher, because people think it's useful.
• Discarding difficulties: Neither the general garbage collection station nor the recycling box receives pressure containers.

Legislation: chemical waste and owner liability

Brief ly: The owner of the fire extinguish er (proprietors, members of the legal community, merchants or household) is responsible for its proper disposal, and the correct channel is to be handed over to the supplier or to the registered fire-fighting contractor. Fire Station as the fire department's approved fire extinguish er supplier, can be arranged for you. More misunderstandings can be seen Hong Kong Fire Safety Regulations: Common Myths.

When will the fire extinguishers be replaced and recovered?

The Fire Services Department directs fire extinguishers to be inspected at least once a year by a registered fire-fighting contractor, and water pressure tests every five years. A well-maintained fire extinguisher can be used for many years, but should be replaced in the following cases:

The self-checking of pressure sheets and the placement of co-cooks can be seen Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Replacement; the choice of replacement for maintenance can be seen Fire Extinguisher Servicing or Replacement.

The Fire Services Department also points out that gas cylinders without gas are generally not dangerous, and abandoned fire extinguishers are considered to be chemical waste by the EPA. So the key is that excretion and cleaning materials must be done by experienced people in the right environment, not on their own or on the back stairs.

Common issues FAQ

Can expired fire extinguishers be discarded directly?

I can't.

Citizens should contact suppliers or registered fire-fighting contractors to arrange recycling and may not be disposed of as ordinary garbage.

When will the fire extinguisher be replaced? Is it valid?

The Fire Services Department advises the fire extinguisher owner to arrange for a minimum annual inspection by a registered fire-fighting contractor and water pressure testing of fire extinguishers every five years.
