Surely a TV or radio showbag in amongst them all?!

But then I don’t think Sydney has them anymore? I think there was one for WSFM or KIIS a few years ago.

An FM104 showbag would have been popular back in the day.

I heard a stat a while ago that might actually be even worse now but I think it was something like 1 garbage truck a week somewhere in Australia has a fire due to an incorrectly disposed battery. They often result in having to empty the entire load of garbage in the street so it can be extinguished.

Lithium ion batteries which are around everywhere these days are the worst because they are so volatile (there was a fire in someone’s carry on bags on a flight to Hobart the other week also) and are a leading cause in house fires now but even a simple 9V battery can cause problems with a piece of foil from a lolly wrapper or something once causing a spark and ignition in one truck.
