Let the collection team in your neighborhood load trash or recycling into the truck. PREVENT TRASH FIRES IN YOUR COMMUNITY Did you know? The most common causes of trash fires are hot coals, ashes, and flammable items, such as batteries and household chemicals. You can help keep your family, community, and collection workers safe and prevent trash fires by properly disposing of coals and household hazardous waste. COOL YOUR COALS! • Cool your coals - hot coals and fresh ashes stay hot for several days. Let them cool for more than 48 hours before disposal. • Place your hot coals and ashes in a metal container and cover them with water to fully extinguish them. • Do not place coals and ashes in a plastic, paper, wood or galvanized container. • Do not place other combustibles in the container with the coals or ashes. Just as those coals helped to get your campfire or backyard BBQ going, they can quickly start a fire in your trash cart, the back of a collection truck or at a waste facility. Properly dispose of your hot coals and ashes: Green Waste Food Scraps + Food Soiled Paper Green Waste 1 2 3 4
