Episode Details

Recycling just got a lot more dangerous—vapes and batteries are sparking fires in bins and recycling centers, with over 1,200 incidents last year. Don’t toss batteries like AA or AAA in your green bin; most stores have special drop-off points, and tape lithium terminals first. Disposable vapes? Even trickier—they’re packed with flammable lithium batteries and hard to dismantle, overwhelming recycling systems. One workplace had four fires in days from vapes. The fix? Use dedicated recycling centers. It takes a minute, but saves lives and keeps waste workers safe.
