A Hunter council in Australia has warned residents not to dispose of batteries in kerbside bins after a fire broke out in a rubbish truck. The incident occurred on March 19 in Cessnock, near the border of Maitland, when a fire broke out in the back of a truck during a pickup run, forcing the driver to unload the contents. The council advised that batteries or items containing lithium-ion batteries should not be placed in waste bins for collection.
