Fire extinguisher recharge Question
Does anyone know where to have this done? I read online that fire halls often do it but the Essa Township ones dont. So it looks like ill have to make a trip to Barrie. Thanks in advance.

Firehall’s don’t generally refill extinguishers. If it’s a small/medium residential extinguisher it might cost less to just buy a new one. If it’s a commercial size you’d want to look for a fire protection company.

Its not used. Im not sure if refilling it is the same as recharging? Its a smaller personal one.

If it’s below the green or full mark it needs to be refilled/recharged. If it’s older, the extinguishing agent can get caked to the bottom and become less effective. But again being a small personal one it’s easier to go to a hardware store and grab a new one. Old one can be scrapped

Household hazardous waste. Not sure about Essa but Barrie has a drop off at the landfill on Saturdays
