One day last week, a garbage truck experienced a fire within its load and was required to safely offload the contents in a nearby parking lot. Local firefighters responded quickly and successfully extinguished the fire.
It appears the cause may have been batteries or a battery-operated device improperly disposed of in the garbage. Batteries can ignite when damaged or compacted inside collection trucks, creating serious safety risks for drivers, firefighters, and the public.
Please DO NOT place batteries in your recycling or garbage bags. Please dispose of batteries safely by taking them to a battery drop off location, usually your local pharmacies and Enviro-Depots. Call Helpline 902-895-4777 to find the nearest one to you.
