Following a waste fire at the recycling plant its owners have issued a safety message advising customers to dispose waste more responsibly
SIX Fire Crews were called to a fire at KCM Waste Management on Gin House Lane on Friday (12th May)
In a Facebook post, KCM Waste Management said “Due to our Fire Management Plan and the incredible work of South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue, this was controlled and extinguished quickly and safely.”
“We would like to remind all customers to please be aware of what you are placing in your waste containers. Items such as batteries, e-cigarettes, gas cannisters, aerosols etc. are highly flammable and must NOT be disposed of within your skips or bins.”
“If you are ever unsure about any item going into your skip, PLEASE call us to check first. We can easily organise alternative disposal of these items for you.”
“A huge thank you to South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue and our on site team for working so hard to prevent escalation and ensure we can continue to operate.”
in July last year SIX Fire Crews were called to the same plant.
