THIS IS NOT A DRILL

There has been an increase in cases of sanitation truck fires in St. Pete (bad!). These fires are a severe safety issue as each case puts first responders, City employees, and residents at risk. To avoid this dangerous situation, residents are asked to follow the safety guidelines for proper trash disposal. Please do your part in keeping our City safe for all.

Do not throw out hot coals
Do not throw out hazardous materials
Do not throw out lithium batteries
