One Unextinguished Cigarette Butt Can Destroy an Entire Waste Container

Unfortunately, one of the most common causes of waste container fires is unextinguished cigarette butts, hot ashes, and other smoldering waste thrown into containers.

A burning waste container is not just damaged property — it can lead to serious consequences:

♻️ Disrupts the waste collection system;
🌿 Harms the environment;
💸 Results in additional costs for replacing damaged containers.

To help prevent such incidents, simply follow these basic rules:

🚭 Never throw unextinguished cigarette butts into waste containers;
🔥 Do not dispose of hot ashes or other smoldering or flammable waste together with household garbage.

And here's another important step toward protecting the environment:

♻️ Whenever possible, sort your waste and separately collect recyclable materials.

Protecting the environment begins with simple everyday habits. The cleanliness and safety of our neighborhoods depend on the responsibility of each of us.

Zhasyl Damu JSC encourages everyone to treat public property with care, follow proper waste disposal practices, sort recyclable materials, and work together to make our cities cleaner, safer, and more environmentally friendly. 🌿
