Did you know that over 1,200 fires last year were caused by batteries?
Councils across the country are reporting their lorries catching fire, putting people at risk.
These fires are often caused by hidden batteries inside electricals. When these electricals are thrown away, the batteries can get crushed by the compactor on the collection vehicle and ignite.
Never put loose batteries or any electricals in your rubbish or recycling collections.
Instead, recycle batteries by taking them to your local Essex County Council recycling centre or find your nearest collection point here (the site refers to them as ‘portable batteries’).
Always recycle your electricals (WEEE) as they may contain batteries, and will be made from precious resources that can be re-used for new electronics. You can find your nearest collection point for these here.
This includes smaller electrical items, like toothbrushes, shavers, chargers and toys, which often break and get thrown out with their hidden batteries still inside.
