After a load of residential trash containing lithium batteries caught fire in a garbage truck last week, Western Lake Superior Sanitary District is asking residents to follow safe practices when disposing of rechargeable batteries.
The Carlton County Transfer station on Highway 210 accepts rechargeable batteries and other hazardous materials, as does WLSSD’s Household Hazardous Waste facility just off 27th Ave. West in Duluth.
