Talking Rubbish - The Recycling Podcast · 107. Why our bins keep catching fire · 13 Aug 2026 podcast

yeah certainly at this time of year it feels like any source of ignition and it's just going to go up because there's fuel absolutely everywhere voice-verified

It's really important to make that point, though, that we're not just talking about 10 or so big fires a month. voice-verified

We're talking about hundreds of chances that there could be something potentially catastrophic. voice-verified

And it's not just obviously about plants and equipment and decreasing the amount of recycling we can do, etc. voice-verified

It's about people who work in these plants. voice-verified

Gosh, OK, I'll voice-verified

Absolutely crazy, isn't it? voice-verified

That's like throwaway money. voice-verified

It's probably the same price as a can of beer in the shop or whatever that gets consumed within, you know, in my terms, hours. voice-verified

You know, I sit over it and really cherish it, yeah. voice-verified

vapes. voice-verified

Yeah, there's only so many people who are vaping and therefore needing to buy a device. voice-verified

They've got their device. voice-verified

They don't need to buy another device. voice-verified

And also, it doesn't correlate in any way to the increase in fires. voice-verified

We haven't suddenly seen, oh, great, it's dropped by, what would that be, 25 or so percent. voice-verified

So therefore, fires have dropped by 25 percent, not in any way, shape or form by looking at the data. voice-verified

There's an old adage that a ban is only as good as the thing that is likely to replace it. voice-verified

So in the instance of the incandescent light bulb, if people think back, it must be a couple of decades now since that was phased out and banned. voice-verified

there were readily available better versions of a bulb that saved more energy that would immediately replace the incandescent bulb. voice-verified
