Batteries in Landfills? Fire Risk Alert | Calgary News
Description
Calgary’s facing serious battery-related landfill fires—blaming Spyhill and Shepard sites—and it’s a wake-up call: tossing batteries in the trash or recycling bins can spark dangerous fires. Store them safely at home in original packaging, tape terminals shut, and seal in a clear bag. Group common types together—and yes, phones, vapes, and smoke detectors count. Never put batteries in blue, black, or green bins. Take them to designated drop-off spots like Recycle Your Batteries Canada! or Eco Centres. A small habit change could prevent big disasters.
