🟢Last week, Avonmouth Green watch visited DHL's Distribution Centre during their World Safety Week celebrations. The crew were on hand to provide safety advice, speak about home fire safety visits, and to show staff around the appliance.

✅Be sure to bin batteries correctly when having a spring clear out. 🗑️Remember that batteries and small electrical cannot be put into your main waste bin. ✅Instead recycle them at dedicated points within recycling centres.
Our Sort It recycling centres are open as normal for the bank holidays. They are likely to be busy, but you can speed up your visit by removing recycling from bags of mixed waste and sorting your items. Find out more about Sort It recycling centres here 👉 https://t.co/e86MoHFkJH

Bonfire weekend never fails to keep us on our toes, everything from a Sausage dog stuck in decking, water rescues, plenty of tracking down bonfires, a large shed fire caused by fireworks and this very impressive piece of parking... #bonfirenightshenanigans #FireworksNight #afrs
