It will take you 30 seconds to drop a used v**e at a recycling point.

When v**es get crushed in general waste or mixed recycling, the batteries become a fire. That spark becomes a fire. Sometimes in the truck. Sometimes at the depot.

Find your nearest v**e recycling point. It could be at a supermarket, v**e shop or council site.

🚨 Scam text warning 🚨

We're asking you to be aware of a scam text that is currently circulating.
The scam claims that the fire service will be in your area carrying out visits, and that if you miss the visit you will be fined.
Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service does not send out text messages or hand out fines. Any visit from us would be carried out by a member of the Service in uniform and they would have formal identification on them as well as an official fire service vehicle. We would at no point ask for payment.
Please do avoid engaging with suspicious texts and report any concerns to Cambridgeshire Constabulary on 101.

BBQs are a fire risk, with potential for embers to fall down and set fire to balconies below. The risk of it spreading upwards from balcony to balcony is also high, which puts you and those you care for at risk. Please do not use BBQs on your balcony - clear balconies save lives!

🌞 With hot weather forecast next week, our waste and recycling crews will be starting collections a little earlier to help them work in the cooler part of the day.

Collections will begin from around 6.20am–6.30am instead of the usual 7am start, so please make sure your bins are out the night before or by 6am on your collection day.

As in previous years, crews will return for any bins missed because they weren’t presented in time. Thank you for your support. ♻️
