Reference

A fire blanket cannot satisfy an OSHA extinguisher requirement - 29 CFR 1910.157 governs portable fire extinguishers and does not mention blankets at all, and a blanket carries no class or capacity rating. This guide covers the rating gap, the two jobs a blanket genuinely does better, and where it is the wrong tool entirely.

A charged fire extinguisher is a pressure vessel and does not belong in a bin. There is no single federal disposal rule - household waste is excluded from RCRA Subtitle C and handed to state and local authorities instead. This guide covers rechargeable vs disposable, safe depressurising, and the extra duty a workplace owes.
