What types of fire extinguishers do you collect?
We collect dry powder ABE, CO2, foam, water, and wet chemical extinguishers. Full, partly discharged, and empty units are all accepted. Suitable for homes, strata buildings, and commercial sites across Melbourne and Victoria. Request a quote to book a licensed collection when you are ready to clear old extinguishers.
Why can’t I bin an old extinguisher?
Old fire extinguishers are pressurised and contain chemicals that can explode, leak, or contaminate waste streams if placed in a household or public bin. They are hazardous waste and need licensed handling. Do not put them in kerbside bins. Arrange collection with a licensed service such as Transnitro instead.
Does it need to be empty?
No. You do not need to empty a fire extinguisher before collection. Licensed facilities depressurise and process full, partial, and empty units safely. Trying to discharge one yourself can be dangerous. Leave the extinguisher as it is and book a Transnitro pickup or request a quote.
