There are two ways to deal with expired extinguishers: one is that some extinguishing materials such as dry powder or foam in the extinguisher are expired, and the other is that the shell is expired. If the extinguishing materials in the extinguisher are expired, we can go to a qualified fire company to explain the situation to relevant personnel, and ask them to help take out the dry powder or foam and refill it; If the shell has expired, it needs to be scrapped at the fire company and a new fire extinguisher purchased.
A fire extinguisher is a portable fire extinguishing tool, and it is a common fire prevention facility. Basically, every household will have a bottle of fire extinguisher, or a small bottle of fire extinguisher will be placed on each floor. For example, in the trunk of our car, there must be a small bottle of fire extinguisher.
Never dispose of expired or scrapped fire extinguishers without authorization, as improper disposal methods can easily cause the tank to explode! Units can directly contact the testing company for recycling of fire extinguishers that have been scrapped, or contact the manufacturer for recycling. For personal fire extinguishers, please contact the relevant property or unit to collect them uniformly, and then the testing unit or manufacturer can recycle them.
