Fire Extinguisher Recycling Program

Smart safety. Sustainable solutions.

At FWSR Group, we’re leading the way in sustainable fire safety. Our purpose-built Fire Extinguisher Rebuild Centre is designed to reduce waste, cut costs, and extend the life of essential safety equipment.
Instead of sending cylinders to landfill, our trained and certified technicians carefully rebuild, refill or recycle each unit - all while maintaining full compliance with AS 1851 and AS 2444.

Why Fire Extinguisher servicing matters

Under Australian Standards, fire extinguishers must be serviced every six months, annually, and at five-year intervals.

The five-yearly (Level 4) service involves a complete inspection and rebuild to determine whether the extinguisher can be safely refilled, rebuilt, or recycled.

Our process includes pressure testing to confirm the cylinder’s integrity, full inspection for rust or corrosion, O-ring replacement to prevent leaks, and safe removal and recharging of extinguishing agents.

Each unit is then reassembled, tested, and certified ready for service, ensuring compliance and reliability.

The FWSR difference - Refill. Rebuild. Reuse.

Choosing FWSR Group means choosing a smarter, more sustainable approach to safety.

Our program reduces landfill waste through responsible recycling, extends the lifespan of equipment through expert rebuild and recertification, and delivers real cost savings - with customers saving up to 60% compared to purchasing new extinguishers.

We’re proud to operate as a certified Test Station for the Inspection and Testing of Gas Cylinders (SAI Global Certificate No. GCT20858), giving you the confidence that every extinguisher meets Australian safety and quality standards.

Each year, Australians send more than 20 million tonnes of waste to landfill - nearly one-third of our total solid waste. FWSR Group is committed to doing our part.

By rebuilding and reusing extinguishers wherever possible, we help our clients meet both their safety and sustainability goals. Partner with FWSR Group to reduce waste, save costs and keep your workplace safe - the smarter, sustainable way to stay compliant.
