Not in the recycling bins !!  There have been reports of these types of incidents happening across the UK for 2 years now. 

Lincolnshire residents are being urged to take extra care when disposing of batteries after a fire in a bin lorry.

A crew from North Kesteven District Council (NKDC) was forced to tip rubbish onto the road in Newton, near Sleaford, after noticing a burning smell coming from their vehicle.

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service said the cause of the blaze on 13 November was a lithium-ion battery.

The battery ignited when it was crushed, investigators said.
