Battery projectile almost hits man in the head

There has been a surge in fires in garbage trucks and at dumps in Brisbane by residents incorrectly putting batteries and flammables in their bins.

This video shows a battery projectile flying out of the dump, before almost rocketing into a man’s head.

There have been 140 rubbish fires in the past five years, with incidents of potentially deadly fires and explosions becoming concerningly frequent.

Batteries and other flammable items such as gas bottles should never be placed in household bins.
