Please never put batteries in your garbage or recycling carts. Even the smallest battery can cause a fire in our trash and recycling trucks! That happened today, unfortunately. And the cause was a tiny battery inside a child’s toy. Use the Raleigh Reuse app to find battery disposal options near you!

Thank you to Legeros Fire Line for these photos! |
