Okay we need to talk. 👀

Your garbage truck is NOT a recycling center for your old vapes. It's also not a retirement home for dead power banks, ancient cell phones, or that e-cigarette you swore you quit. 😅

Lithium batteries are hiding in 35+ everyday items and when they get crushed inside a garbage truck, they don't just die quietly. They go out in a BLAZE of glory. Literally. 🔥

It's called thermal runaway and it is exactly as dramatic as it sounds.

So here's the full "please for the love of all things holy don't throw these away" list:

🔋 Disposable vapes & e-cigarettes
🔋 Rechargeable power banks
🔋 Old cell phones
🔋 Cordless tool batteries
🔋 Electric toothbrushes
🔋 Wireless earbuds & headphones
🔋 Laptops & tablets
🔋 Smart watches
🔋 Ring cameras & smart home devices
🔋 Bluetooth speakers
🔋 Digital cameras
🔋 Portable fans
🔋 Rechargeable flashlights
🔋 Rechargeable bike lights
🔋 E-bike & scooter batteries
🔋 Solar yard lights
🔋 Rechargeable camping lanterns

🔋 Rechargeable vacuum cleaners
🔋 Hand warmers
🔋 Heated jackets & gloves

🔋 Rechargeable milk frothers
🔋 Portable blenders
🔋 Electric coffee mugs / self-heating cups
🔋 Electric lighters
🔋 Kids tablets & gaming devices

🔋 Mini desk gadgets & LED décor

When in doubt, drop it out. At the right place. 😄

Ever wonder how a rear-load garbage truck works? 🚛

These trucks can handle both residential and commercial routes and hold up to 20,000 pounds of garbage packed full.

They’re especially efficient for commercial stops, dumpsters, and mixed routes with a few residential pickups along the way.

You never know what you’re going to find on a trash route… but this one caught us off guard. 😳

After dumping a can, our driver looked inside to make sure it was empty and came face to face with a raccoon that somehow survived the entire ride through the truck.

Safe to say… he got back in the truck pretty fast after that one.

Just another day in the sanitation business. 🦝🚛
