That's what Bucks Council are reminding residents in a bid to stop fires starting in their fleet of bin lorries.
It comes as at least 25% of the UK public admit to binning batteries.
Theyre asking people to remove batteries from electrical products before recycling them. or if you’re unable to remove the battery, recycle it together with your old electricals, at one of the many locations around the county.
