Austin 3-1-1

We've had some truck fires lately. 🚛🔥🚒

Batteries, pool chemicals and hot ash are some of the top causes of fires in collection trucks.

Here's where they actually go:

Batteries
Drop them off at an Austin Public Library location that accepts them or at the Recycle and Reuse Center.

Pool chemicals
Take them to the Recycle and Reuse Center.

Hot ash + burnt charcoal
Planning to grill this Memorial Day weekend? Let ash cool completely overnight before it goes in your trash cart.

Not sure what goes where? Check the What Do I Do With Tool at AustinTexas.gov/whatdo.

⛈️ Locally heavy rainfall is predicted at various times tonight through Memorial Day weekend.

Potential times of greatest concern:
- Late tonight into Thursday morning, potentially affecting morning commutes
- Saturday morning through Sunday morning

Please monitor US National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio Texas & local media for updates on the weather forecast.
