Inspector Chris Hughes, Team Leader of Fire Investigation at Fire and Rescue NSW, has provided comments on how to safely recycle lithium-ion batteries following several garbage fires.
He highlighted that garbage truck fires happen weekly as a result of improper disposal of lithium batteries.
Mr Hughes advised people to use council recycling centres, as they can store and dispose of batteries correctly.
In the case of lithium-powered electric vehicles, he recommended that the vehicles be charged during the day and outdoors.
