Surge In Dumped Battery and Electronic Devices Sparks Urgent Fire Warning

One of Ireland’s largest waste management operators has launched a public awareness campaign following a rise in fires caused by batteries, vapes and electronics being thrown into household wheelie bins, skips and public street bins.

Items such as vapes, power banks, cordless power tools, e-bikes, and e-scooters are increasingly appearing in municipal waste streams and are now the leading cause of fires in the waste management industry.

Clean Ireland Recycling, which is leading this campaign, has experienced several fires in its collection trucks and damage at one of its depots.

The Christmas STAR (Stop Think And Recycle) campaign comes ahead of the festive and New Year period, when households typically dispose of old electronics and batteries while also bringing new ones into the home.

Managing Director of Clean Ireland Recycling, Brian Lyons said the sharp increase in batteries, vapes and electronics is creating serious safety risks.

He said the improper disposal of these items “puts lives, property, the environment and businesses at risk”.

Mr Lyons urged the public not to dispose of batteries, vapes or electronic devices in household or public bins, but to bring them to designated WEEE/battery collection points.

He said many people do not realise how easily fires can start.

“A fire can begin when a battery is compacted or pierced in a bin lorry. If the casing cracks it can short-circuit, producing intense heat and sudden flames. Inside one of our trucks it can spread in seconds,” Mr. Lyons explained.

He continued, “It only takes one vape or power bank to trigger a serious incident. We have had fires start while trucks were on the road, forcing crews to stop, isolate the fire and in conjunction with fire services, unload burning material to save the vehicle. There are far too many reports from around the country of waste transfer stations and recycling facilities experiencing fires caused by batteries and other electronics.”

Mr Lyons said preventing fires “starts with proper disposal” and that using the correct facilities helps protect homes, vehicles and recycling infrastructure.

The public can contact their local recycling centre or visit MyWaste.ie for advice on safely disposing of batteries and electronic waste.

Ring launches its smallest & most affordable cordless tyre inflator.

Renowned auto accessory giant, Ring Automotive, is continuing to dominate the tyre care market. After its launch with its TYREInflate range earlier in the year the company has launched the TYREInflate GO 10 (RTC1600) a compact, cordless digital tyre inflator designed to make tyre care quick, simple and affordable.

Within the 20 years that Ring has been in the tyre care marketing, it has curated an award winning and highly respected range of tyre inflators. However, with the cost of living continuing to rise, the business has decided to launch a competitively priced tyre inflator range to ensure everyone has access to help they need for tyre safety.

Lightweight and easy to store, the TyreInflate GO 10 can inflate a 13” tyre from flat to 35PSI in under six minutes. Its cordless rechargeable design, flexible 20cm hose and built-in light make it practical for everyday drivers. The digital display ensures accurate readings, while three included adaptors allow inflation of sports balls and small inflatables. The inflator also comes with a storage bag for convenience.

The cordless design means that users can easily move around a vehicle to inflate tyres without wires getting in the way.

There is also a handy light to illuminate the valve in low light and it comes complete with a storage bag.

Marketing Director, Henry Bisson, commented: “We have been expanding our tyre care range rapidly over the last few years, but we’re conscious of price and wanted to ensure everyone can afford to look after their tyres, which is why we’ve launched our affordable tyre care range.

“We want to make sure people are regularly checking their tyres, as they’re such a safety critical element. Therefore, we’ve created many different models and made them easy to use, but now we want to combine this with the product being cost effective. We’re hoping with the competitive nature of this new range, there’s no reason for drivers not to have a tyre inflator in their car.”

RRP: TYREInflate GO 10 – £29.99
