♻️⚠️Proper Disposal Alert: Lithium-Ion Batteries ⚠️♻️![]()
![]()
Lithium-ion batteries continue to cause dangerous incidents in recycling systems across Ontario — and in our own facility.![]()
![]()
When these batteries are crushed, punctured, or compacted during collection and processing, they can ignite without warning. Fires spread fast in recycling environments, putting our drivers, operators, equipment, and community at risk.![]()
![]()
🚒 The reality:![]()
![]()
🟡Fires caused by batteries don’t always happen immediately![]()
🟡They can smoulder inside trucks or sorting equipment![]()
🟡By the time flames appear, damage is already done![]()
![]()
⚠️ If it plugs in, lights up, or charges — it does NOT belong in your wheelie bin.![]()

This includes:![]()

🟠Vapes & e-cigarettes![]()
🟠Power tools![]()

❄️ Winter Reminder: Wheelie Bin Placement During Snowy Conditions ❄️![]()
![]()
With snowbanks lining our streets, proper bin placement is extra important to keep collection running smoothly and safely.![]()
![]()
♻️ Please place your wheelie bin:![]()
![]()
- On your property, in front of or beside the snowbank.![]()
![]()
- Not in the roadway (this helps keep streets clear for snowplows and traffic).![]()
![]()
- With the wheels facing your house and the lid opening toward the street.![]()
![]()
- With at least 1m of space around the bin so our truck’s automated arm can safely grab it.![]()
![]()
🚛 Our trucks use automated arms, which means drivers do not exit the vehicle. If a bin is blocked by snow, placed on top of a snowbank, or set in the road, the arm may not be able to safely reach it.![]()
![]()
Thank you for helping us collect efficiently while keeping roads safe for everyone this winter! ❄️
