@hercdljourney: to properly dispose of lithium batteries you can contact your local waste disposal company or your local landfill. not my truck on fire btw video cred @Ricardo Rojas #hercdljourney #wastecollection #trashtruckdriver #femaletruckdriver #truckfire
pro tip: put ur batteries at the bottom of ur bin so the trash collector doesn't see it👍🏽
