Hi Nadirene,

I'd say that fire extinguishers are classed as hazardous waste so you need the Chemcar, a mobile collection service for household hazardous waste. Collection times and other details for Co. Wicklow can be found at the link below:

I also suggest that you phone your local authority to confirm the above.
