In just the last three weeks, three garbage trucks have caught fire in Dublin. These dangerous incidents are 100% preventable. Learn how to discard hazardous waste.
Improperly discarded items like batteries, propane cylinders, hot ashes, and other hazardous materials can ignite and cause fires in garbage, recycling, and compost collection trucks.
To prevent dangerous fires, Dublin residents can drop off household hazardous waste (HHW) for free at three HHW facilities throughout Alameda County. Take advantage of these services to keep our community and waste workers safe.
