The fire service added that lithium-ion batteries should never be placed in the same bins as rubbish or recycling.
“They can ignite if damaged, crushed, or overheated in bin lorries or waste and recycling facilities.”
It asked people to dispose of them safely and appropriately.
Lithium-ion batteries are found in many household items, including mobile phones, laptops, and vapes as well as larger products like e-bikes, e-scooters and hoverboards.
