Fire protection doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment.
We recognize the growing need for sustainable fire protection solutions and that’s why we’re proud to support eco-conscious options for both fire extinguisher selection and disposal. helping our clients reduce their environmental impact without compromising safety.
Eco-Friendly Fire Extinguishers:
Traditional extinguishers – especially older models – can contain chemicals and agents that, while effective, are hazardous to the environment when not handled or disposed of correctly.
Newer eco-friendly models now offer:
- Non-toxic, biodegradable agents
- Reusable and refillable designs
- Extended service life to reduce waste
- Reduced environmental runoff in case of discharge
What Happens to Old or Expired Extinguishers?
Improper disposal of fire extinguishers can result in environmental harm (especially from dry chemicals or pressurized canisters), violations of provincial or federal regulations, and safety risks during transportation or storage.
Everguard offers full-service extinguisher disposal that includes:
- Safe depressurization and neutralization
- Certified removal and recycling of metal cylinders
- Environmentally sound disposal of chemical agents
- Documentation for compliance and tracking
