Horsham bin lorry fire sparks new appeal
A fire in a Horsham bin lorry has sparked a new appeal to people to ‘recycle responsibly.’
The call comes from Horsham District Council which says the fire was caused by a replacement laptop battery.
A spokesperson said: “Thanks to the quick-thinking waste collection team the situation, which happened on Friday July 12, was controlled but the crew were forced to dump a lorry load of recycling onto a road in Horsham.
"It took more than two hours for the waste to be cleared away.”
