| Reusable extinguishers are metal all-purpose "ABC" type extinguishers, with a metal valve, because these are rechargeable. Please contact AAA Emergency Supply Company at 914-949-0512. | Metal extinguishers with plastic valves are usually not rechargeable. This type can be recycled with metals if it is fully discharged (i.e., empty) and the plastic valve is broken off and can be disposed of with scrap metals. | Westchester County accepts hazardous materials at the Household Material Reclamation Facility. Visit the website for information on HMRF or call the Westchester County Recycling Helpline at 914-813-5425. Residents of North Castle will be subject to a small fee.
Old models no longer in use, such as stainless steel and brass soda acid extinguishers, should not be placed with waste or recycled with metals. Contact AAA Emergency Supply Company regarding safe disposal. |
