🔥 Safety Reminder! 🔥

We had a close call today when a lithium battery from a discarded v**e pen ignited and caught fire. Thankfully, it was spotted quickly and removed before it could spread through the rest of the waste. We were lucky! many waste and recycling centres haven’t been as fortunate and have suffered devastating fires or the costly rebuilds that follow.

This is a serious reminder that v**e pens should never be thrown into household bins or skips. Their lithium batteries can become extremely dangerous when compacted, damaged, or exposed to heat.

♻️ How to dispose of v**e pens safely ♻️

Local recycling centres

Designated v**e shops

Participating supermarkets with battery recycling points

Please dispose of them properly!!

Warehouse Clearance and Strip Out

This project involved a full warehouse clearance and strip out in Milton Keynes, following the unfortunate closure of the tenant company. They had left behind a significant volume of materials and equipment for the building owner to deal with.

The entire process, which included sorting, dismantling, and disposing of unusable materials, while ensuring that any undamaged goods were either sold or repurposed wherever possible.

The project took a total of seven weeks to complete, with teams working on site full time to dismantle racking, load trucks, and responsibly manage waste disposal.
