RESIDENTS are being reminded to not put batteries and vapes into their grey bins by council bosses.

Instead, people are asked to hand their vapes into the store they bought it from so they can recycle it.

A spokesperson said: “Batteries and vapes don’t belong in your grey bin.

“They can cause fires and are a danger risk to our crews, so they should be recycled correctly.

“Visit one of our household waste recycling centres, supermarkets or the shop where you bought it from to recycle them.”
