April 2024 Fire Report: We Cannot Be Complacent

2024-04-09 15:54:31| Waste Age

We had 71 fires, of which 35 occurred in waste, paper and plastic operations, 25 occurred in scrap operations, four occurred at organics operations, three occurred in e-scrap operations, two occurred at construction and demolition operations and one occurred at a rubber recycling facility. Four of these events were confirmed as catastrophic, but that number is highly conservative based on the public reporting without long-term visibility of the actual damage stemming from these incidents.
