Binman reveals how to get rid of a disposable BBQ without causing a fire
Ashley says to douse disposable BBQs in water and wait up to 48 hours before binning them to prevent fires and melted bins.
Binman Ashley, active on TikTok, warned households to safely dispose of Disposable BBQs after summer garden cooking, cautioning that hot units pose significant fire risks and can melt bins.
To prevent fires, Ashley advised dousing the BBQ in water and waiting up to 48 hours before disposal to ensure the unit completely cools.
Because grease contaminates recycling, Ashley stated that Disposable BBQs and paper plates must be excluded from recycling bins to prevent all rubbish becoming unrecyclable.
For food scraps, Ashley advised that all leftover food, including burnt pieces, can go into the food waste bin even if covered in oil and grease.
Recommended disposal involves dousing the BBQ in water, with items going straight into general waste rather than recycling after the 48-hour cooling period.
