Please remember never to put batteries in your household bins!
Batteries and small electrical devices can cause fires in collection vehicles and recycling facilities.
Last week, one of our waste collection teams retrieved a smouldering laptop from our collection vehicle, preventing a fire from taking hold. We are thankful that crew members remained safe due to their quick and observant actions.
