A bin lorry carrying recycling materials had to take emergency action in Kent, as its load caught fire, necessitating the contents to be tipped onto the road to prevent a potentially large-scale blaze. Swale Borough Council reported the incident, which occurred in Sea View Gardens, Warden, warning residents of collection delays.

The council explained that the lorry’s crew responded promptly to the situation. Regrettably, due to the fire, it became necessary to unload the recycling materials onto the street. Cleanup teams were dispatched to clear the road of the waste, although it has since been declared unfit for recycling due to contamination.
