How to Manage Residential Waste:

Fires and explosions
We had a truck fire occur earlier in the week due to a resident disposing of pool chemicals with their household waste. Pool chemicals, rechargeable batteries, live ammunition and propane tanks cannot go in the trash or recycling as they can cause truck fires. If they do manage to get to a disposal site, they can lead to other issues.
Which leads to our second incident, which occurred this morning. We had an explosion at our recycle center when a propane tank made it to the end of our sorting process to the bailer. The pressure ended up causing an explosion. Please see below for images on both events. Luckily no one was hurt in either occasion.
