Damaged or crushed batteries can ignite in trucks or at recycling facilities — and these fires are becoming more common nationwide. Even small ones from tools or toys can cause serious damage.
As routes get busier this season, take a moment to remind your customers: no batteries, electronics, or flammable items in any bin.
Direct them to their Household Hazardous Waste site or local drop-off for safe disposal.

Keeping these items out of collection bins protects drivers, equipment, and the community.
