🔥 Summer BBQ Safety Alert! 🔥
Barbecue season is in full swing, and while we all love a good garden barbie, there’s one post-grill mistake that could spell disaster. A binman named Ashley has flagged a crucial tip to avoid turning your bin into a fire hazard 🚨.
🌭 Grilling is fun, but when it’s time to clean up, don’t rush! If you’re using disposable barbecues, let them cool COMPLETELY before tossing them in the bin. Not only can a hot barbecue melt your rubbish bin, but it could also start a fire! 🗑️🔥
⏬ Here’s how to keep things safe:
1. After your BBQ, douse your disposable grill with water.
2. Wait at least 48 hours for it to cool.
3. Only then, pop it in your general waste. Never in recycling or public bins!
🥩 And don’t forget about the leftovers! Even those charred bits can hide embers. Let all your food cool before it hits the bin.
🚫 Shockingly, even disposable paper plates don’t belong in your recycling. The grease from food makes them unrecyclable.
Let’s enjoy the sun and keep our gardens safe. Share these tips and help prevent unnecessary summertime fires! ☀️🔥 #BBQSafety #SummerTips
