## Caption

We've had some truck fires lately. 🚛🔥🚒

Batteries, pool chemicals and hot ash are some of the top causes of fires in collection trucks. Here's where they actually go:

Batteries
Drop them off at an @austinpubliclibrary location that accepts them or at the Recycle and Reuse Center.

Pool chemicals
Take them to the Recycle and Reuse Center.

Hot ash + burnt charcoal
Planning to grill this Memorial Day weekend? Let ash cool completely overnight before it goes in your trash cart.

Not sure what goes where? Check the What Do I Do With Tool at the link in our bio.
