How do I dispose of my old or used fire extinguisher?
Fire extinguisher companies will take old fire extinguishers, or you can empty them and discard them in the trash. Empty the fire extinguishers outside only, preferably into a trash can. Stay upwind of the discharge. The dry chemical in fire extinguishers is not considered hazardous, but it can cause respiratory issues if inhaled. DO NOT discard fire extinguishers in the trash unless the gauge indicates that there is no pressure.
