Waste fires caused by lithium-ion batteries cause £158m of damage every year and lead to extensive environmental and societal costs. Our new report with @ESA_tweets explores the costs of these fires and looks at potential measures to reduce them. bit.ly/3skcdC3

👏 We love the message on @NTCouncilTeam's bin wagons 👏
Electricals and batteries shouldn't be disposed of in your recycling or general waste bins as they can cause fires and be a risk to waste workers.

We're supporting the #zombiebatteries campaign. We've had two fires at our Waste Transfer Stations, believed to be caused by batteries in the waste. Our Grantham site suffered significant damage. Please take used batteries to a supermarket or HWRC for recycling.

here is just a small collection of batteries that were removed from the normal plastic/paper/steel/aluminium etc recycling streams at our Birmingham Landor Street sorting centre. Many are a Health & safety and fire risk and none should be in the stream.
