Batteries and vapes might look harmless in a bin, but they’re a growing fire risk for hospitality venues. From bin lorry blazes to fresh legislation on vape sales, here’s why Brighton’s restaurants, caf\u00e9s and pubs need a proper disposal plan, and how a few small changes can prevent a much bigger problem.<\/p>\n

The Small\u00a0 Items Causing a Big Problem<\/h2>\n

This summer, fire risk has been hard to ignore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With heatwaves, dry weather, and warnings about wildfires, we\u2019ve all been more aware\u00a0 of how quickly a fire can start and spread. But there\u2019s another fire risk that often goes\u00a0 unnoticed, and it could be hiding in your bins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Batteries and vapes.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

What Happens When Batteries End Up in the Wrong Bin?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

When batteries and vapes are thrown into general waste or mixed recycling, they can be\u00a0 crushed or damaged during collection and processing, causing them to overheat and\u00a0 ignite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If a fire starts inside a collection vehicle, the consequences can be immediate. The\u00a0 driver may have to stop and tip the entire load out wherever they are so the fire can be\u00a0 tackled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine a whole bin lorry\u2019s worth of waste being emptied onto the road in the middle of\u00a0 a busy street.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All because of one small battery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Recorra<\/p>\n

Why Does This Matter to Hospitality?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Restaurants<\/a>, caf\u00e9s, pubs, and hotels are busy places, and with lots of people using bins\u00a0 throughout the day, it\u2019s easy for small items to end up in the wrong place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A vape or battery can easily be dropped into a general waste or mixed recycling bin.\u00a0 Once it enters the waste system, it becomes much harder to spot. For businesses in\u00a0 busy towns and city centres, a fire in a collection vehicle can also cause disruption right\u00a0 outside your door.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legislation is Changing\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The conversation around batteries and vapes is moving quickly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ban on single-use vapes has already changed the way businesses need to think\u00a0 about vape waste, with any remaining stock needing to be recycled safely.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Further changes are also coming. From 29 October 2026, new rules under the Tobacco\u00a0 and Vapes Act will introduce updated restrictions around the sale of vaping and\u00a0 nicotine products, including a UK-wide age-of-sale rule for all vaping products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Government is also continuing to consider reforms to battery regulations, as the\u00a0 fire risk posed by batteries in the waste stream remains a major concern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, What Can Hospitality Businesses Do?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The first step is simple: make sure batteries and vapes don’t end up in your general\u00a0 waste or mixed recycling bins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Providing a clear disposal point for staff can help keep batteries out of the wrong waste\u00a0 streams. If your business sells or supplies vapes, there are additional recycling\u00a0 responsibilities to consider too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Small changes in the back of house can help prevent bigger problems further down the\u00a0 line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because when it comes to batteries and vapes, where they end up really matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recorra can help businesses recycle batteries and vapes correctly, keeping them\u00a0 out of general waste and mixed recycling.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
